Security sites blocked for being a security risk

ash_d

I do a lot of security research and development for my company.  A part of this is visiting various security sites, one fo which is securityfocus.com.

This site was fine until a week or so ago .. and now it is being flagged as being a security risk due to viruses, worms and malware being found on the site. It infact has the raw code for these things that someone like me would to produce rules for IPS/IDS etc.

Is there any way of reclassifying the site (I have added it to the local site list but it doesn't seem to have done anything)

    Hi Ash_d,

    The current categorization of securityfocus.com from SophosLabs is 'Blogs & Forums' and the risk-class is 'Low'.  Is it a particular page being blocked, or does it seem that the whole domain is blocked?

    If you could send the message from the block page we should be able to help further.

    Thanks,

    Tom.
