FireFox Reported Attack Site

Attack Site

Okay, I know most of you guys already know about this .. but this is what I saw first time.

However, I was aware about this earlier. Firefox 3 have some advanced features .. According to Mozilla:

Firefox 3 or later contains built-in Phishing and Malware Protection to help keep you safe online. These features will warn you when a page you visit has been reported as a Web Forgery of a legitimate site (sometimes called “phishing” pages) or as an Attack Site designed to harm your computer (otherwise known as malware).

Now how Firefox able to figureout that the website is a Attack Site ?
Umm .. for this they used the Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page.

Really something great and helpful, Looks like a dark future for anti-viruses .. Lol
