lefty1953 Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I was trying to get on here yesterday and both my wife's and my PC' s gave me warnings about this site being malicious. It was Google giving out this info. I just couldn't believe it was doing that and that is why I tried my wife's PC. Anyone else have this problem? The message was saying that my settings are why I got the warnings. Never changed the settings and have no problems getting on now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Besttechie Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 We were exploited yesterday which is why you were receiving warnings. Everything has since been resolved. If you did come to the site despite the warning I would recommend scanning your system just in case. Sorry about the inconvenience.B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lefty1953 Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Thanks I already did scan my PC. Nothing wrong here. I even did the TrendMicro free scan as well. I just couldn't believe there was a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully this was the first and last time we experience an exploit. Unfortunately though if you miss an update to a particular script/software it can be dangerous. I'm typically very good about making sure everything is up-to-date or at least on the latest secured release. The attackers injected code into the OpenX database (the one which serves the ads on the site) and that's where the problems arose. Again, everything is fine now and we've been deemed safe by Google.B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
