facebook status updates give some info into the malware warning:

We're looking into the issue with the site. At the moment we're not sure what's going on, but it would help if people could comment here and let us know what's happening when they visit the site. Be detailed! We're getting to the bottom of this.
We realize quite a few people are having their browser warn them about malware when visiting Explosm. Has anyone had actual malware forced onto their computer from the site recently, or just the browser alert? This is important to assess what's going on.
UPDATE: It looks like the worst thing happening to anyone is a browser alert. Nobody's reported actual malware so far. We've more or less pinpointed where the problem is coming from, but won't be able to fix it until Matt gets home. We don't know when that will be. Until then, the site appears to be 100% safe to visit but feel free to avoid if you feel safer that way.

Oh, and anyone who is asked to download a PDF called "crybabylike.pdf" from maccrack.ru, just ignore it. I downloaded it just to see what it would do (I like to live life on the edge), and the file itself doesn't exist, so I don't think it's a threat. Sorry about all of this, it seems to have come through via one of our advertisers.

      This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99 by Taras Buria Those looking for an affordable, high-resolution webcam from a reputable manufacturer can check out the latest deal from Acer, which puts its 4K webcam at a solid price. Thanks to a 14% discount, you can buy this all-metal 4K webcam from Acer for just $59.99. Despite the affordable price tag, the webcam has a pretty large 1/2" CMOS sensor manufactured by Sony. Apart from its size, it supports additional conveniences, such as high dynamic range and phase-detection autofocus (PDAF). Plus, the camera ensures you do not have to buy additional audio equipment, as it comes with two built-in high-sensitivity microphones, a built-in background noise filter, and the ability to pick up your voice from up to 2.5 meters away. Acer is not cheaping out on materials, and the webcam is enclosed in a more premium metal case, which is also good at heat dissipation (high-resolution cameras can get quite hot). And to make sure no one is peeping at you when the camera is in use, there is a magnetic cover also made of metal. Additional conveniences include an LED status indicator and a built-in mount that lets you place a camera on a tripod.
