Earlier Tuesday some readers of Wired received in-browser warnings relating to possible malware detected on site. While there was no infectious malware being served, a rogue advertisement served by a third party network used javascript to attempt - sometimes successfully - to redirect some web browsers to unrelated commercial websites.

All user data stored on our servers remains safe, and at no time were any users exposed to potentially infectious malware. We are working with our partners to better understand this occurrence, and we apologize to any visitor who may have been inconvenienced during this time.
