Google To Send Detailed Info About Hacked Web Sites

alphadogg writes "In an effort to promote the 'general health of the Web,' Google will send Webmasters snippets of malicious code in the hopes of getting infected Web sites cleaned up faster. The new information will appear as part of Google's Webmaster Tools, a suite of tools that provide data about a Web site, such as site visits. 'We understand the frustration of Webmasters whose sites have been compromised without their knowledge and who discover that their site has been flagged,' wrote Lucas Ballard on Google's online security blog. To Webmasters who are registered with Google, the company will send them an email notifying them of suspicious content along with a list of the affected pages. They'll also be able to see part of the malicious code." Another of the new Webmaster Tools is Fetch as Googlebot, which shows you a page as Google's crawler sees it. This should allow Webmasters to see malicious code that bad guys have hidden on their sites via "cloaking," among other benefits.

    In the name of desperation
    I call your name
    A lamentation I sigh
    Again and again

    Spiritual eclipse
    The gateways are closed for me to seek

    The night...
    A veil of stars, watching
    My shadow is born from light
    The light of the eye, in darkness

    Over troubled waters memories soar
    Endlessly, searching night and day
    The moonlight caresses a lonely hill
    With the calmness of a whisper

    I wear a naked soul
    A blank face in the streaming water
    It is cold in here
    Frost scar my coat with dust

    Eyes attach to your mute portrait
    We spoke only through thoughts
    Together we gazed, awaited
    Hours brought thirst and the rising sun

    Sunbirds leave their dark recesses
    Shadows glide the archways

    Do not turn your face towards me
    Confronting me with my loneliness
    You are in a forest unknown
    The secret orchard
    And your voice is vast and achromatic
    But still so precious

    Lullaby of the crescent moon took you
    Mesmerized, its kaleidoscopic face
    Granted you a hollow stare
    Another soul within the divine herd

    I have kept it
    The Amaranth symbol
    Hiddin inside the golden shrine
    Until we rejoice in the meadow
    Of the end
    When we both walk the shadows
    It will set ablaze and vanish
    Black rose immortal

    It is getting dark again
    Dusk shuffle across the fields
    The evening trees moan as if they knew
    At night I always dream of you
