It is very common for spammers to break into other websites (using simple well known exploit) and create links redirecting to the site hosting the malware. So a site should not be excluded just because it has SSL.

Is it possible that you meant to say not as in "a site should not be excluded just because it has SSL"?

Yup sorry, that is what I meant to write: "should not".
