Michael Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Is anyone else who is using firefox on a mac getting the "this is an attack site" warning and not able to get into the site properly? I'm using safari at the moment to get in. Cheers Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I'm using Opera, and having getting strange results, often pages not loading properly, and full of gobble-de-gook characters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Gilchrist Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Same here, on a pair of Macs with both Safari and Firefox. Page does not exist, Warning, this site may damage your computer, etc. Just checked w. Chrome running on a Mac, it's happening with it as well.

Jon Gilbert Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Happening with me using chrome on XP, but wasn't happening an hour ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maplecap Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I got warnings that this site was a reported malware site in both Firefox and Camino today. Also errors regarding the type of compression used on pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Hoppe Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Firefox is giving me the warning, but Chrome opened it no problem. When I was on earlier today on firefox, none of the pictures were opened in the posts, and when I tried to download them and open them in Preview, I got an error message that they (jpeg) were an unsupported format.

Jeff Wexler Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Our site was attacked and massively corrupted. I have completed doing a restore from backup and we should be in good shape now. Sorry for the inconvenience. Regards, Jeff Wexler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Toline Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 FWIW, no problem with IE8. Don't know if that's a good or bad thing. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Firefox is giving me the warning, but Chrome opened it no problem. Marc Very curious that Chrome did not report --- the origin of the report is from Google crawl and isn't Chrome a Google browser? - Jeff Wexler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 still having some problems: here is what I see (lots of it!) " _õœ$ËI3fIê¿p‹OÃ’W£*Ã7[ÚÛ`a‰çkK¶é½2ñ‘‘oâÜ»pÄèUâØë` " I have been unable to access the thread "We were attacked" at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Gilchrist Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Very curious that Chrome did not report --- the origin of the report is from Google crawl and isn't Chrome a Google browser? - Jeff Wexler At first Chrome worked fine, but this morning I tried it and a couple of pages into my visit, the warnings came up. I'm curious if this will happen until all the cached pages at various ISP's reload. Best regards, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 The site is back, but possibly not for everyone until the various cached alerts are cleared, etc. We should be okay for now. I know I said that before after the first attack, but let's hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imagist Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Great thanks for the effort involved getting it running again. A small detail, I acquired a small 'no entry' icon in Firefox bookmarks which has not gone away. Is jwsound able to have it's own icon, as many sites do, and what could it be? thanks Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 The site does not have what is called a "favicon". I will look into putting one up. - Jeff Wexler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Toline Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Back up and running fine here on IE8. Thanks for burning the midnight oil. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the inconvenience. Regards, Jeff Wexler Jeff, Make sure you change your passwords you use to access the site. These javascript trojans scrape your password from other drive by worms then use that data to re-infect your website. It is automated bots and if you don't change your passwords you are liable to be re-infected. It happened to my website a while back and even after full restore from backups it was re-infected in a couple of days until I changed the passwords. Also you and your webmaster or anyone who has access to your website data pages needs to thoroughly scan their machine for these javascript worms or trojans before you change the passwords. That is how the password lists get stolen in the first place. And yes they can infect both Mac and PC machines. ----Courtney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Passwords have been changed. The forum site is on my Lunarpages account and I don't know what Lunarpages does to prevent these things, if anything. I don't really have a webmaster... well, he is a master and a good friend, Laurence, who tirelessly helped me through this most recent adventure. - Jeff Wexler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Thanks Jeff n Laurence. "You don't know what you've got till it's gone" as the great Joni Mitchell song states. True here. CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
