Google reports gephi.org "may be hacked"?
Posted: 02 May 2014 22:20
Hello everyone,
I have been looking for an open-source application for visualizing data in a network format. Gephi looks very promising. Unfortunately, I'm a little afraid to get started with the installation. Why so? Take a look at this Google search result:
https://www.google.com/search?q=gephi
The top link is, of course, to gephi.org itself. And right below the URL, a link reads: "This site may be hacked."
If you follow that link, you go here:
https://support.google.com/websearch/an ... acked&rd=1
That page reads, in part:
I'm eager to download Gephi and get started. Many thanks!

Well, I certainly don't know the owner of gephi.org... but with this post, I'm trying to alert someone to this situation. I hope that an explanation for Google's mistrust of this web site can be obtained. Google includes instructions at that link for the web master to follow in order to (re)certify that a web site is safe.We show the message "This site may be hacked" when we believe a site may have been hacked by a third party. Often a hacker will modify existing pages or add spam content of their own. For example, you may be exposed or redirected to spam or malware. We recommend that you do not visit the website until you no longer see this label in Google's search results. If you know the owner of this website, please alert them to the situation.
I'm eager to download Gephi and get started. Many thanks!
