Tried to go to the mtgox site and I got a warning that it might be a comprimised harmful site. Anybody got this warning as well?

mtgox.com does work for me, and then i get the green security bar aswell. So www.mtgox.com probally directs you to a phishing website.

I didn't click on a link. I typed www mtgox com in my search bar like I usually do and I got this warning. Have I been hacked or is it from mtgox end?

So confused.  :(

No, the certificate was signed only for mtgox.com (and not www.mtgox.com), that's why you get that warning.

typing mtgox .com doesn't work either. First time I've seen the correct website name might lead to a phishing site.

Mtgox site is now working. Does anybody have any idea what might have happened? It seems only a few people encountered this problem.
