From Link2ICT - Final message It appears as though McAfee have recategorised edugeek.net as Minimal Risk (see attached image). The site will now be accessible as before. Whilst this is a dynamic categorisation (Minimal, Medium, High Risk) we do err on the side of caution (and block) when a reputation score changes. All working now :-)

If Link2ICT give me any more info tomorrow I'll post it. (Yea - I know - stop giggling! )

Latest reply Many thanks for the additional information. The McAfee Reputation Score is an added dynamic (along with multiple other metrics) to check the level of safety against any website/IP/host. The most basic example would be a website hosted on a server with other websites, one of which becomes compromised. McAfee will see the traffic/viruses/spam coming from this IP and will change its reputation as a result. All McAfee customers which use reputation scoring will be affected (not just BGfL Schools) Clearly edugeek has had no issues for years and now the reputation score has changed - this does not demonstrate that the IP/server/host that the edugeek site resides on is safe however. Of course, it could be an error on McAfee's part and we have an open call request with them querying why the reputation score has changed. It would be risky to suggest AWS cannot be compromised. A metric of sorts must have changed in order for McAfee to change the reputation level of the site. I'll update when i hear back from McAfee.

I called it in first thing, so far the replies have been : 2nd message The recategorisation request to change from Medium to Minimum has been declined by McAfee. Typically, this relates to the site being on a shared server/group of IP's whereby one has been compromised in some way. I will speak to McAfee to ascertain the root reason for the change and update you. 1st message Whilst the category (Business/Technical Forums) is whitelisted for all schools, it appears as though the Reputation of edugeek.net has changed from Minimal Risk to Medium Risk.

Well if we are on a transport theme, here's my pennies worth :-) Plane simple by Alan, on Flickr

I removed KB4011165 and the report that highlighted the problem ran normally. I haven't come across one that KB4011150 affects yet.

Well done!
