Same here, and when going to the Googled search link it also go there.
It may be they got hacked and Mark has not refreshed the website on his

A quick look for whois notes for the domain www.globalmapper.com shows
that the domain owner info was updated on the Dec 9th from it's old
owner to Godaddy.com. This could be a source of the confusion.

When I click Mark's globalmapper link it takes me to this security web

When I type in the address by hand I get the same thing.
