3/28/2017 MY NOTE: In the last two weeks, Norton, (Symantec), has started registering this blog on search engines, as UNSAFE! (See below).

I haven't had a single person, send me any notice of problems in using this blog, and while I do link to outside sources. I haven't been notified of a single problem. NO ONE HAS CLAIMED THEY HAVE BEEN AUTOMATICALLY  REDIRECTED TO A DIFFERENT SITE, by simply reading this blog. 
I don't guarantee the safety of any link, 

however, I USE NORTON (SYMANTEC) 360 PREMIER WEB PROTECTION, and IRONICALLY,  THEY APPARENTLY DIDN'T PROTECT ME from this supposed threat. 

When I first discovered this rating, I immediately opened the threat identification, and discovered that all 7 relate to a single  Web Attack: Mass Injection Website 19 .(See below at bottom):
Symantec identifies this threat as

Severity: High

This attack could pose a serious security threat. You should take immediate action to stop any damage or prevent further damage from happening.

Description

This signature detects hidden scripts injected in compromised websites, which upon visiting redirects the user to exploit kit hosted sites.

Additional Information

This is a detection for compromised websites with the injected script code. This is an attack where a malicious javascript is injected in large number of clean websites. Once compromised, it aims to use the websites to redirect its visitors to a Multiple Exploit Kit landing page without being aware of it.

Affected

  • Various WordPress sites


I traced the links below to a single post in 2015, and immediately deleted it:

Apr 4, 2015 - Morphology of human sweat ducts observed by optical coherence tomography and their frequency of resonance in the terahertz frequency region



I'm posting this, so readers are made aware and  informed of this safety claim. I will continue to work with Symantec to resolve this issue. While I can't be responsible for the web-safety of  any off-site links, I won't repost anything which Symantec advises is unsafe. In addition,  I  will continue to provide a link to each site or article I repost here.
