Hi,

We host a mirror of the Genome Browser, and recently we were told by our
security detail that one of the links displayed on one of the track
settings pages is a major security threat.

http://www.cfgbiotech.com/microarray/index.htm

This is linked in the track settings page for
hg19.wgEncodeSunyAlbanyTiling. The text is encoded in the html field of
the trackDb table for hg19.

Can you update this link so that it points to the correct site, or else
remove it?

Thanks,
David Hoover
