jupyter.org redirecting to malware websites (Apr 13th)

[Damián Avila]

Howdy all,

FYI, on April 13th, an issue was opened reporting that visiting https://jupyter.org/widgets.html redirected to some spam / malware page: https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter.github.io/issues/203

The CDN from npmjs, unpkg.com was hacked on that day, and all the websites making use of the CDN, including jupyter.org were making redirections to span / malware websites until unpkg.com fixed their issue: https://github.com/unpkg/unpkg.com/issues/31

There is currently an open issue here: https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter.github.io/issues/204, to discuss strategies to mitigate this kind of problems in the future.

Cheers.
