About 24 hours ago, the issue was an ad network that showed malware. The ads are actually pre-scanned by the ad network for virus twice via google scan + their own before being showed to you but the malware somehow leaked through as no system is perfect. Google detected the existence of malware showing through the ads on the reader page and subsequently blocked our reader page (why instead of just the ad? I don't know. One of biggest mysteries to me).
It seems the bad ad actually was affecting a very wide range of websites from big to small including reddit (not my screenshot), deviantart (not my screenshot), skyrim nexus network (This one actually has a lot of explanation), etc due to a wide range of ad networks being infected with this particular malware.
So, the problem to us for it being shown for so long is largely because of Google's hypersensitivity + long time for their "review" to take place (up to half a day). And as always, please always have an active anti-malware software on your computer. Even if the site is trustworthy, there can always be parts that might get hacked.
For more on where to get anti-malware (anti-virus) software, check out filehippo. There are plenty of credible and free softwares available!
Sorry for the scare! (though not really my fault. lol )
P.S. Since it was just the ad, naturally batoto is not infected.
