Thread: Malware? We're Checking

  1. #13

    Default Re: Malware? We're Checking

    I saw what James saw. It may be some suspicious websites that are also using my hosting company.

    I deleted one suspicious file on our site but I have the my server techs looking into the areas outside of TSP Talk which may be having problems.

    I have heard several other forums were hacked recently and really had issues. So far I don't see anything like they have (like creating addition administrative account and taking control of their site, etc.)

    Anyway, we're working on it. Thanks for your patience.

    I can get to the Message Board using IE but am blocked with FireFox which is monitored by McAfee. Here is what I see.

    OK, apparently, TSPTALK is hosted on the same network as some really seedy sites......

    Yeah, it's a big operation and they've always been great to work with, but they're out of NY so...

    The hosting company found 1 suspicious file that had nothing to do with the forum, but maybe it was hiding there? Not sure. Anyway, they claim there are no issues on our forum or on the server at all now. I am having Google run another review of the site. Could take a couple hours, or longer. Not sure.

    Is there a message that says something like, click here to advance at your own risk?

    Yes, It is a warning. Under IE, Firefox, cand Chrome it allows you to continue to the site.

    I uninstalled Firefox and installed WaterFox 64 bit, no blocking notice now.

    At some point this afternoon, I will update the software to the next upgrade version. I have avoided this because I tried it once before and it blogs.

    Hey- there were some pretty "seedy" sounding domain names....but I figured --maybe --Tom you had started some new topless premium services that undressed our TSP accounts that I wasn't yet aware of. :-)
