I've just noticed that since browsing CUK this morning I've got a very swollen nob and itchy bollox?!?



Admins should do more to protect us vulnerable users.

You have been getting too familiar with atw. Drink lots of green tea and the symptoms will soon pass.

Inside job? Doesn't one of the posters on here help admin with a bit of freelance work on the website?!

Yeah, but he's too dumb to pull something like this off

[mudskipper]

I'm clean!

[hyperD]

Oooh, I feel all dirty now, think it's time for my daily spanking.

ESET NOD32 never picked anything up but then I access CUK posts using RSS rather than navigating the CUK site. Not sure if that makes a difference...

Don't appear to have any viruses - ClamXav shows nothing. I'm using FF9 with adblock and noscript, would that have blocked it?

Don't put yourself down. That is our job.

Interesting article:

"Cyber criminals have opened an online store offering website operators increased traffic by hijacking other websites.
"The Russia-based web shop injects hidden iframes into pages of legitimate, unsuspecting websites to redirect visitors to a buyer's URL."

Did this same thing not happen a year or so ago ?

Virus being injected via Java runtime bug using a IFrame embedded in the Ad server ?

I dont think a forum post was used for this but the buggy ad server.

This being a IT forum i thought it would be prevented from happening again.
