Hi,
  Brewpoll.com got attacked today.  I rebuilt the whole site and updated the software on it literally hours after it happened and its now clean, but apparently it will take some time for google to white-list the site again.  I've asked them to do so.

  As far as I'm aware nothing has happened to any of the main BeerSmith sites (including BeerSmith.com, the forum or the blog) - they were clean throughout the attack.

  Obviously I'm not too happy about it, but one of the problems with having a popular site is that it becomes a target for spammers and scammers - all I can do is keep my software up to date and clean up after it happens.

Cheers,
Brad
