This started happening today. Each section of the forum I go to gives me this warning:

32GB iPad 2 | 32GB iPhone 4 | 11' MacBook Air 1.6 i5, 4GB, 128GB SSD

We're aware of the issue and looking into it. We've had reports about this same problem related to the main MacNN page as well. It's almost certainly got to do with some sort of ad that not playing nice, or is itself corrupted or malicious.

I've been looking for it most of the day, and it's never hit me. Jman, you're the first person in Texas to mention seeing it. Having some sort of idea which users (by region, at least) are actually seeing the warning will help us track down which ad is the culprit.
