Problem getting onto Lencarta's Website

Just tried to view Lencarta's site and Norton gives me a malicous software warning. I had exactly the same problem at work today (where it completely blocked it).

Had no problems a couple of weeks ago - just wondering if it's an iffy update of virus definitions or there's an issue with the site.
 
Update

Despite being a very secure locked down site, which passes PCI compliance (and these PCI checks hilight theoretical and pretty unbelivable and negligable risks), it looks like a single file was comprimised. This has been resolved

We go to extraordainary lengths to make this site secure. It does seem that the more popular a site is the harder the hackers try, which keeps us on our toes

I can confirm that at no point was anyone comprimised, either in terms of data loss or nasty scripts landdng on your machines. This minor threat was basically trying to pull stuff into an iframe from a site that no longer exists. On top of that, the site firewall was actually preventing any data from that (dead) site from being displayed or executed

I have confirmed with a clinet that our fix has resolved the issue. I will be spending today looking at further hardening the security

Additional measures have been taken, and are being taken right now to stop this from happening again

For obvious reasons I will not discuss security measures on an open forum, all I will say is that we deal with these things very swiftly, and we then we also go away, look at the logs, and other things to make sure that that particular expoit can never happen again
 
The whole thing is strange, this first came to my own notice on Friday, and I told Richard about it straight away but he couldn't find anything wrong.
I don't use Norton but I got a warning from AVP (Avast). Problem is, Avast was also giving exactly the same warning about TP and even their own site:) so it was difficult to take it seriously at the time...

Anyway, problem now solved, although it may take a while for Norton to update and stop giving the warning.
 
Update #4

Tests completed. Nothing thrown at the site or web-space caused any thing of note. The only thing of note is that the sever pretty much instantly locked one of the servers we ran the tests from out automatically. In my book, that's good news
