Malicious websites

[Gary Prentice]

I'm trying to access some Arb Practice notes but the site I'm after keeps getting blocked by my computers security system, with warning of malicious software etc. The sites here;

 

 

 

I can't imagine there is a problem with the site, but I've been blocked from it for a week now. Anyone else having issues? I've got McAfee and Bullguard installed.

I've removed the link, just in case it is compromised.

Fair enough Steve, I doubt if it is, as its a long standing site, it's more likely a problem with my computer. I'll try accessing it through my phone and see if I get any warning on that system too.

That makes it even more of a target. I'm always getting hack attempts, occassionally successful ones.

Terrific......

All I want to do is buy or read some practice notes

Hi all,

 

OK, this is a guess, but what could have happened is that the site authors may have written an insecure Java script. Java is notorious for being compromised & the 10 year old Romanian hackers (?) have just injected some bad links to the malware slinging site they want to redirect traffic to etc.

 

PM me the site URL & Ill check it out & contact the host to sort it (been doing this for years)

Hello, Bonsoir,

 

I was right! its got redirects to naughty pages! the home page has been compromised so I have sent the site owner a message telling them to secure their iFrame scripts, tut tut!

 

Anyway I have downloaded the text of the notes, converted to PDF on my Mac & scanned with Sophos AV so you can download my new file, which is safe to do so.

I had some problems last year with this site with a notice warning of 'malware' so I bet it happens quite often.

More recently I was looking for quantities of a particular aggregate and one of the sites I looked at had been hacked to display sex toys and cheap viagra!

Hi

 

My analysis is correct, there are iFrame exploits which allow script injections to malware/adult slinging sites.

 

I have contacted the people who run the site & bought this to their attention. Hopefully they will re-script the site soon & fix it
