Fingers crossed. I saw over 1000 malware uploads. That were malware uploaders that were indexed. It made me sick, and I had to stop.
Yes, if I’m not mistaken, I read elsewhere where you brought up this issue, which is undoubtedly one of the most serious and pressing ones to address. In my view, they should tackle this on two fronts:
-
Proactive: by implementing automated checks that are as strict and effective as possible, to nip the upload of compromised files in the bud (whether intentional or not, since sometimes a virus or malware can creep in without any malicious intent from the uploader, but the end result remains the same and should be prevented).
-
Reactive: by creating a privileged, dedicated support channel for these types of reports, as well as for other equally important ones (for instance, I read about a user who repeatedly reported child sexual material “hidden” inside an indexed NSFW program retrievable via search, without success).
I hope this aspect will be addressed as soon as possible.
