Google thru Mozilla Firefox tagged PRC.GOV.PH an attack site
A while ago while surfing through the different reviews made on the PRC Board Exam Results [dot] com, I encountered this link to http://www.prc.gov.ph/, the official Professional Regulation Commission website.
I tried accessing the site when suddenly my newly installed Mozilla Firefox 3 Release Candidate warned me with this screen:
When I checked why the site was blocked:
What a shame — especially for the fact that it bears the GOV.PH suffix. Amf!
I believe this site was hacked! The government should hire more competent IT professionals.
A short plug: if you want to check PRC Board Exam Results, better visit http://prcboardexamresults.com/. They’re a lot safer than our government.

As one ‘developer’ of a site that has been labelled by Firefox’s latest rigid updated version of 3, I think this is unfair as this is commonly of no fault of the site developer/webhost.
We have all been great fans of Firefox for many years now, but I’m very disappointed with their automatic display of this warning. It just scares people off (useful) websites
unnecessarily that have potentially become infected through no fault of their own.
Other browsers don’t show this degree of ‘sensitivity’ (nor, insensitivity!!!) that this latest FF update does; it simply is too much caution.
Leave the security issues with the host, leave out the inconvenience from the users. We urge FF to disable this damaging and reckless feature.
