Question anyone else getting a virus warning while visiting the site today?

How odd. I'm on Firefox, using a mac, with the "Block attack sites" options checked, and I don't seem to be having a problem. At all. Not yesterday, not today. I've gotten zero warnings. The only thing I've got going is that "Enable Adblock Plus" is on, perhaps that is what is helping?

On my iMac I got this alert using Safari to log in
but I get no alert with firefox and got into the rpf site

Warning: Suspected phishing site.
The web site you are visiting has been reported as a "phising" website. These web sites are designed to trick you into disclosing personal or financial information, usually by creating a copy of a legitimate website,

And I got this on a google search

Malware Warning
 
Yeah, I got it when I logged into the RPF. I really didn't think too much about it and just killed it until I saw this thread.
 
It's happening again for me this morning. I don't know much about viruses and that sort of thing but this is what my anti-viral software listed for this attack:

Attacking Computer: darthererandom.co.cc 213.5.64.191, 80
Attacker URL: darthererandom.co.cc/forum/fwjqxzkofsilfwivg.php
 
Yeah some kind of google ad issue? or trojan/malware? Has the great google gods been hacked? I hope not. Getting tiring getting the warning message.
 
And people wonder why virues, trojans and malware spread so fast... :wacko :wacko

It's really no wonder after reading this thread...

PEOPLE GET A CLUE, THE SITE HAS BEEN COMPROMISED! UNTIL IT'S CLEANED THE MALWARE IS STILL THERE, SWITCHING BROWSERS , DISABLING THE WARNING POP-UPS IS JUST PLAIN STUPID AND SERVES NO PURPOSE! TAKE A DAY OFF OF THE RPF AND HOPEFULLY THE STAFF GETS THE INFECTED FILES OFF THE SERVER, UNTIL THEN GO OUTSIDE AND ENJOY THE WEATHER...

From my experience these types of attacks originate from someone with FTP access and saved FTP passwords on their computer for this site, they likely download a Trojan that will read the stored passwords, access the site and inject code into random files on the server... That or there is an injection code exploit on one of the scripts on the server... In either case until the hole is discovered and closed, and the site is sanitized visiting the site is only likely contributing to the problem...

If you must visit the site run your browser in a sand box (like I am) so that it's contained, and you are not contributing to the problem...

Better yet just go out and enjoy the weather, or get some work done...

That was indeed the case. Hole found and patched.

For anyone who is unfamiliar with sandboxing, I would recommend:

Sandboxie - Sandbox software for application isolation and secure Web browsing

We thought we had this handled yesterday, but there were a couple that slipped under the radar. We now have those last few rounded up and are making final checks to ensure everything is good.

If you were hit with Malware, we recommend you use the following the clean your system. Make sure you update to the latest virus set.

Malwarebytes
 
I looked at one thread yesterday and it completely hosed one of my boxes. Even in safe mode I can't run anything to get rid of it. I'm sure I'll get it fixed later this week when I get back home, bu what a pain in the ass.
 
Strange! I never had a problem at all and I've been viewing the forum for the last few days. I've run 2 Quick Malware scans and 1 Full scan and found nothing!
 
Wow!
This totally screwed my laptop. (posting from my iPhone)
I've had the machine since 2000 & this is the first time since then I've had to reinstall the OS due to virus attack.
I couldn't even boot in safe mode.
I didn't lose much data, thanks to backups.

I hope whoever did this rotts in heck. :angry
