FAO NEAL: Reported Attack Site? Anyone else getting this too?

ajrimmer42 · 10-18-10, 01:32 PM

Using Firefox as I always do, I've just clicked to come onto Subsim tonight and have been greeted by this:

Is anyone else getting it?

I can click 'ignore' in the bottom right corner to continue browsing but whenever I click a link it comes up again. Upon clicking 'Why was this page blocked', this comes up:

To stop it all I have to do is change my security settings in FF options, but I thought Neal probably ought to know.

My immediate instinct was that this was some sort of malware but it appears to be legit Google stuff, after a bit of searching.

Wierd

I'm getting it as well.

CaptainMattJ. · 10-18-10, 01:34 PM

me too.

Molon Labe · 10-18-10, 01:34 PM

Yes, me too, and it's preventing me from posting with Firefox.

WTF does Google have to do with it?

Google tests different sites as the diagnostic thingy says.

Oh and yes, having the same problem here. Flagging + not able to post using Firefox.

Same here with Chrome.

I believe Firefox automatically uses Google's data for identifying suspicious or infected sites.

I disabled the suspicious site blocking for now, and I can post just fine.

Yeah, I had it, got rid of it via Options/Security/'Block reported sites' off.
Not the first time I've seen a site get wrongly blocked, but that's the age we live in I guess.

I think it's the GT forum.

Exactly the same!!

AVAST just warned me that this is malware. First time for me.

Hi, for some reason I can't access any subsim forums whilst using firefox, I am currently using IE, this is the warning:

Seems like a virus to me that has effected firefox though all other sites seem to be ok!

Already noted on the GT board...

Neal is working on it.

At least four times, and at least once in other forums.
