Site
[QUOTE=Marlowe;1255473]I was unable to access this forum for the past three days. It was reported as an attack site, and my computer wouldn't let me access it. Glad to see things are back to normal. WTF happened?[/QUOTE]I had the same problem. Tried over and over, and thought Jackson had 86'd my account! LOL. There's some glitch with Firefox, and I happened to catch a quick post about it on the front page. Had to disable the notices of attack sites in the options under security. Worked right away though.

Ok

[QUOTE=Golden3;1255291]I got it, and I stayed away for a while. It looks like someone included malware in a posting. Most of the site was obviously safe, but I wasn't sure which part. Anyway, I suppose that Jackson has removed the problem.[/QUOTE]Well I toughed it out and tried to actually still use the site, that was a cluster for me, all these windows popping open, opening new tabs, it sucked. It did make me appreciate this site when it is up and running correctly, which it is doing right now. Be safe and careful, and please keep Bill Fanta posting, I love his posts, they always make my day. As always.

Just curious
Any one have trouble accessing this site the past few days. Firefox kept blocking me.

[QUOTE=Heathwood;1255655]Any one have trouble accessing this site the past few days. Firefox kept blocking me.[/QUOTE]Yes, when using chrome too. But it was easier to get around the block with chrome. When I did, my antivirus prevented an attack. Someone tried to upload malware, hence the warnings when we tried to visit. It's happened before. All good now.

I had the same problem!

Login
[QUOTE=Prowler069;1255708]I had the same problem![/QUOTE]Had the same problem. According to Google the site had a problem with a virus. The Google report made it seem to be very minor but blocked my access anyway. It must have been dealt with as I don't have a problem now.

Same here
[QUOTE=Weezer1220;1255262]Same thing with me.[/QUOTE]I avoided it like I do all viruses. LOL. Seems to be working better now.

[blue]Greetings Everyone,
Approximately 30 hours ago the forum's server was the target of a low level attack by a hacker who was attempting to upload his SPAM malware advertisements onto the website. A by-product of this attempted attack was a security advisory issued by Google.
24 hours ago, just 6 hours later, we discovered the hack attempt, cut the hacker off, replaced the effected files and took the necessary measures to prevent similar future attacks.
12 hours ago, Google reviewed the site and gave us a clean bill of health, but it will take approximately 24 hours for the Google security advisories to stop.
Let me stress that the forum's database, which is kept on a separate server, was not compromised in any way and remains as secure as it has always been since I first started the forum 10 years ago.
Thanks,
Jackson[/blue]

[QUOTE=Muskie1; 1255140]I found this coded comment on another site with a discussion about aes and ev," Storm clouds gathering for both BK and McDonalds. Both establishments have heavy "blue" presence. Caution is advised when ordering off the menu. Make sure you get what you order, or you may drive off disappointed. Know who you are talking to when you speak into the clown's mouth."
While I was doing some searching on google about aes the info said the sites server was gone, not that savy with computer lingo but it sounds like they have been wiped out.[/QUOTE]This is a quote from someone named " Thaifood" I found back in August. Sorry I can not find the link, makes you wonder who was using his name.
