1. Looks like a site attached to it has been compromised, maybe
Something's feeding malware onto the site according to Google's reaction to it.

2. They're clean...
...Google says they're clean, but they're on Google's blacklist anyways, which a lot of browsers apparently take as gospel. I was just there using Safari and clicking through the warnings. John is aware of the situation.

3. Dunno why google reports it as such. Never had a problem with it before.

4. Stuff like that comes and goes
Say, someone serving a banner ad or a counter on another site gets compromised, that can start triggering things that weren't there before. They usually go away after a day or so as the problem's caught.
