Internet Security

Greetings Everyone,

Google has been erroneously reporting that the USASG forum contains malware.

We subscribe to a virus/malware scanning service that scans the USASG site every hour looking for viruses, malware and/or other security hacks on the forum. This service alerted us of the Google warning within minutes of Google's notice.

Our virus/malware scanning service immediately scanned our entire server and advised us that there is no virus or malware hosted on our website or the server itself.

You may read the Google report at...

http://safebrowsing.clients.google.c...de.info/forum/

Please read the text in the middle of the Google report that states...

According to Google, the problem they have is that apparently the forum contains an EXTERNAL LINK to another website that they believe has a virus and/or malware.

My programmer and server admin are both working now to identify and remove the EXTERNAL LINK.

Let me repeat: According to Google's own report, the warning is DUE to a MALWARE ISSUE on ANOTHER WEBSITE.

We expect to have problematic links removed from the forum and functioning normally within a few hours.

Of course, it would be very helpful if fucking Google would tell us what is or where they found the link to the alleged malware website, but they are of no fucking use whatsoever.

The reality is that it's probably a redirected link, so we're only going to find it by clicking on every one of the thousands of links in the forum until we find the link that redirects us to the alleged malware website.

Google is a bunch of complete assholes posting these public warnings when they acknowledge that our website is clean of malware and without telling us what link is the problem.

Why don't they just blacklist the alleged malware website and leave it at that?

Anyway, I appreciate your patience in this regard.

Thanks,

Jackson

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.

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.

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

That's why you are the man!

No statement from Jackson on what happened or have I just not found it yet?

It wasn't just Firefox. I had the same message using Chrome. Glad everything is back to normal now!

I did, I figure someone with an axe to grind reported it.

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.

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.
