    I tried to upload an image or two to the astrometry.net blind plate solver website this evening and received a message that the site was hosting malware. 

    Has anyone else seen this, or is it new?

    Edit: NYU are investigating…

    Yes, I encountered the same message as you did.  Hope they have resolved all the issues.

    Standard false alarm.  Happens all the time.  Nothing to see here, move along please.

    This is one reason why I run local astronomy.net servers on my TCS, laptop and two main analysis machines.  If you can spare a few gigabytes of disk space I strongly recommend that you do so as well.
