Hi Lisandro,

You deserve it to have it newly addressed. Means it is a good topic.

I'm not seeing that.  Scanned with Dr. Web Link Checker and Avast.

Hi -midnight,

No direct threat there, some code to be retired allthough. I give you a report of all insecurities and what should be retired and improved there.

Checking for cloaking
There is a difference of 26532 bytes between the version of the page you serve to Chrome and the version you serve to GoogleBot. This probably means some code is running on your site that's trying to hide from browsers but make Google think there's something else on the page: Any links with funky anchor text? Yes there are. show.

<a href="#" id="email_suggestion" data-field="[[ field_selector ]]" data-from="[[ current_value ]]" data-to="[[ suggested_value ]]" data-validation_method="[[ validation_method ]]">[[ suggested_value ]]</a>

iframes
Any iframes? Yes there are. show.

Just a note, social media buttons often show up here. They are probably OK.

Hi -midnight,

Thank you for taking that precaution. I just scanned this link because young Steven Winderlich alerted to it.
Did not find it malicious per se, but it had some jQuery library  code on there that the web admin there or the hoster of the website has to retire, that means they better zip file it for later reference and then take it off. Often jQuery versions are not updated and left on a website from the day they were downloading that particular code onto the website. As some code has been left by the designer/developer, you can imagine that leaving it there will only produce further vulnerabilities and exploits to be used against it. Also often we find that coonfigurations on a site do not follow best practices or are wrong even. Yes, dear -midnight, there is still a lot of incompetence reigning on the Interwebs. That is why I do here what I do and a lot of interested forum friends help me with it (!Donovan, Pondus, Para-Noid, Eddy, etc. etc.).
Fingerprinting is a form of stealth tracking, CanvasFingerprintBlock extension 1.0.1 will set these instances out inside the browser.

Be safe and secure during all of 2016,

polonus
