not the most savvy computer guy [why the fourm was down last night]

Probably part of a Russian botnet I didn’t get a chance to pull down the applet to reverse :frowning:

You are now part of the NSA data collection grid. Sorry.

thanks for fixing this, I noticed it a few days ago and was just going back by holding mouse over the back button, then selecting 2 url’s down. I assumed it was some bug in the ad rotation or something…

good catch and fix. thank you.

Hahaha, nah, I didn’t run the app. Just looking out for those who probably did.

Well depending on the age of the java you have installed and your browser it could have autorun.

The attack came from 88.178.253.20 which is Rhône-Alpes, France. But who knows if it originated there.

The exploit is actually well known and we took measures to avoid it in the past. But it’s easy to overlook when things are being upgraded & moved.

Thanks to Mike, LZ, Nick and the others that gave us a hand :tup:

Nothing. It was just messing with forum functions but definitely :eyebrow:

If you are concerned with the app you can go into the control panel on your computer, click Java and look for the box “temporary internet files” Click Settings and then click the delete button. This will clear the Java cache of shit downloaded from the internet which would include whatever this bs was.

wait so this wasnt the Syrian Electronic Army?
