SATIRE Malware Discovery Forces National Vulnerability Database Offline

[whoosh]

The website of the Link Removed (NVD) remains down today, six days after malware was reportedly found on its servers.
Since March 8, users trying to reach NVD’s site have been redirected to a “Site/Page Not Available” announcement, coupled with a note that the site has “experienced an issue with its Web Services and is currently not available.” The website, hosted by the beltway-based National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) lab has long served as a repository for vulnerability management data and software flaw reporting.
