Site security compremised?

[Terrifictez85]

Every time i come on the forums it freezes for a second then the site changes to something completely different.

Has anybody else had this happen?

Maybe a mod could look into this.

Don't worry about it.

I am seeing the same problem -- although it only seems to happen in IE, not in Chrome. The page is getting re-directed.

 

[Vicey]

This is happening to me also and I'm now getting a message from Chrome that the site is unsafe.

 

[JackyBoy]

When trying to visit it on my iPhone from a google search, google flagged it up as being malicious too

Trying to get to main Forum page, get this error now after being told it was fixed

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting T_FUNCTION in /var/www/forum.overclock3d.net/hooks/boardIndexSideBarAdCode_fcad220d66ba688bee4a7d5d38d9aa47.php on line 36

should we abandon the site??

 

[airdeano]

abandon site, what??

looked as if just the forum entry was effected. i entered through another shortcut and got

through, but the main directory was unusable. site still isnt 100% up as the recents were

deleted and some of the avatars are "illegable"

My god, why do that ?

This is a link to a website that is potentially dangerous, not the forum in its entirety.

Do not worry my friend.

Hi,

I just got the "Reported Attack Site" message moments ago - not a good thing. I assume any issues are fixed so hopefully this warning will be lifted soon.

[Nathn]

would this have caused any harm to the computer? any malware or what not installed?...

 

[Scoob]

I wouldn't have thought so - I'd have expected the countless security bits and bobs installed on my PC to throw a wobbly if there really was a direct threat. As it is the warning is just stating that this site was reported as an attack site at some point. That can happen sometimes (rarely) even if there's no problem.

I expect we'll get an official announcement soon.

Had a different site name show up (something about NFL?) on the Chrome warning screen a minute ago, didn't catch it, because I was too busy screenprinting this:

As said elsewhere, it seems to be spam posts that have been cleared out already, but various AV programs and browsers are catching up to. Should all pass over in time.

Edit: Just downloaded and ran Malwarebytes, and this popped up after:

Might not be related to here, but I'd suggest people do a scan.

This is being discussed here... http://forum.overclock3d.net/index.php?/topic/44948-forum-virus-warning/

 

[Scoob]

Odd, I have both AVG and Malwarebytes anti-malware & I've not had a peep from either of them - they are both updated.

Might have been from elsewhere then. It was strange, I did a Malwarebytes quick scan, which finished with no errors, then AVG popped that up straight away.

Site has been cleaned, we just have to get all the anti viruses and google to rescan us.
