Google search results for ndtv

This definitely qualifies as a breaking news as much as our news channels pass of dull routine stuff as breaking news on their ticker.

Some discussions about it seen here.

More here at Google's diagnostic page. Google's advisory may not be available after NDTV.com stops serving malware thats why the screenshots.

Update from the above advisory:
<Quote>
Of the 833 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 6 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2008-11-21, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2008-11-20.

So it is likely that malware issue has been fixed by now. Firebug console on my firefox didn't show up the malicious sites listed by the advisory ( douhunqn.cn, ppexe.com, 61.31.235.0 ) serving content through ndtv.com anymore.
