Yehey.com blocked by Firefox and Google

Philippine online portal Yehey.com has been reported as an “attack site” by the browser Mozilla Firefox and Google and access has thus been blocked to some users.

When I visited a news article at Yehey.com earlier today, I was greeted with the following warning from Firefox.
