[Elecraft] Dodgy site

[Julian, G4ILO]

I think the problem is that Mode Components is using a free web host that has
some dodgy users. There is probably nothing wrong with the site itself, but
Kaspersky regards Free Web Town as a bad neighbourhood, with some
justification if Google is anything to go by.

Given that web hosting is available for well under a tenner in the UK from
reputable hosts like 1+1, I don't know why someone would penny-pinch to the
extent of using a dodgy free web host for their business site.

My hunch is that this site is safe to visit. But it is quite a common
problem that malware is planted on legitimate sites by hackers exploiting
weak passwords and security vulnerabilities, so even your local church
website could end up delivering malware. It is wise to be cautious, and
absolutely right of Dave to post this alert as soon as he received it.
