I just tried to enter this link:  coindeskDOTus/cd/chicago-sun-times-gets-11-new-subscriptions-bitcoin/ , and immediately my antivirus displayed a warning saying that a trojan had been blocked. Not simply a suspicious file or anything, but a confirmed trojan by the looks of it. Coindesk might be hijacked and spreading malware, be careful.

Here are the details from my AV, which is Avast:
Code:
URL:	        h_sten-ex_hr__6396_xap|kind_dll
Infection: MSIL:FiestaEK-C [Trj]

CoinDesk.com is the correct URL.
