Is blog.comptia.org a known malware distributor?
I got an email from comptia in my gmail account and google marks it as malware 
. Looks bad for being a security certification provider.

No.
But...
Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page for blog.comptia.org
I don't know why people would be reporting it as so. -

The Comptia blogs must have done something in the past and Google is still holding a grudge. The Cloud+ Beta exam thread over in the the General Certification Forum gave me the same malware alert in Chrome. -

Zulu reports that the URL blacklisted by Google Safe Browsing API goog-malware-shavar, but doesn't find anything else wrong with the site.
urlQuery reports a malicious iframe injection is present. -

Ha! The .us domain would suggest the USA, but it indeed resolves to a Russian IP address. Smells like CompTIA really needs to revisit their patching schedule for WordPress. Good catch! -

Hello,
I work in the Web & Social Media department for CompTIA.
I want to thank you all for your notice on this issue. We are aware of the malicious software alert when clicking on links to our website. Our team is working on it and should have it fixed shortly. -

I'm just hoping for advanced notice for TE members on CompTIA beta exams.
