Early on Feb. 1, WorldTribune.com was blocked by Google due to a malware attack on the site.

In consultation with technicians at the hosting company, the attack was identified as originating in Russia. The problem has been resolved and the block on WorldTribune is expected to be lifted within 24 hours.

The editors would like to thank our readers for their patience and support. WorldTribune.com has endured cyber attacks in the past and unfortunately such challenges are part of the New Media environment.
