CUK triggers malware warning

[DimPrawn]

Has CUK been infiltrated by Russian spies?

This pops up whenever I visit the General forum now

I've got Malwarebytes Premium too and not getting anything. Are you clicking an assguru post?

Can you remember the last time you logged in and it was ok DP?

[xoggoth]

Ok, I was using Chrome. Just tried with Firefox and I'm getting exactly the same warning, apart from a slightly different IP and port.

I haven't used Firefox for ages, probably more than a year.

Thanks guys.

MrFitz mentioned the same issue in TPD and has informed his Adminness.

[xoggoth]

Ok in Opera, Brave & IE.

Just for interest, here's an explanation of it: urldelivery.com - Malwarebytes Labs | Malwarebytes Labs | Detections

Indeed. It only happened on my iPhone, and happens on any page of the forums - well, the ones I've tried, which are the home page, General, TPD, and ancillary pages like the "compose post" page.

I can get it to happen on a desktop browser by switching the User Agent header to an iPhone one, though. A couple of seconds after the page has loaded, it suddenly shoots off through a chain of about seven or eight redirects, landing up on some page that tells me my iPhone has malware, or that I've won a prize, or in one case porn that failed to load

You obviously waited to see if it would. If you catch a virus on a porn website maybe one should go to the online STD clinic.

I would have said it's another MB false report if you hadn't actually been misdirected. Funny that this should only happen on some browsers (not in Edge either BTW).
