Kiwi Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 ...the vulnerability has been patched and the hackers left a second piece of backdoor code behind them, which is what resulted in the admin account being registered yesterday. Ben has now stayed up VERY late and disinfected the forum, so fingers crossed there are no other surprises! Thanks all for your patience and understanding. Quote
chrismuzz Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Nice one! Here's hoping all our avatars haven't been changed to pictures of dicks Quote
Stacker Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Still getting the 'attack' warning when using my bookmark, though can get here if I ignore it. Will delete bookmark and try again. Quote
Stacker Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Nope, deleting the bookmark, closing the broswer and clearing the cache still brings back the warning. Seriously, is it ok to mark this site as 'safe'? Quote

Will delete bookmark and try again. [/quote] I have exactly the same problem. How can I ignore the wraning permanently? Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 doesn't allow me to correct the typo either. Quote
Kiwi Posted May 18, 2012 Author Posted May 18, 2012 Have you cleared your browser caches? Press CTRL and F5. Quote
giblett123 Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Works with Safari, still getting a warning with Chrome though. Quote
Stacker Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1337316799' post='1657917'] I have exactly the same problem. How can I ignore the wraning permanently? [/quote] Close browser, clear cache and retype.url. When warning appears, click 'ignore' and then your browser should ask you if you think the site is safe. This seems to be a Google issue.

peted Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Well done for sorting this out. Treat yourself to a beer Quote
ead Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Brilliant work, thanks very much to all the techies who understand this stuff. It's a black art to me although I can do RPN on on old style HP calculator! p.s. I'm liking the CTRL F5 thing, must try to remember that one. Quote
paul_5 Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Thanks to all involved in fixing the internet. Well done you! Quote
KiOgon Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Missed you xX thanks for sorting it guys, here's to a 'normal' day Quote
mart Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Good to have you back, and thanks for working so hard to get it fixed so quickly! Quote
Al Heeley Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 still getting warning page and no access on my mac at home via safari. INstalled firefox and tried that but also an issue. TRied emptying cache and still getting warning. Will try again later today. Quote
ShergoldSnickers Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Excellent work there - this neatly illustrates the need for vigilance, and people who know what to do when an attack occurs. I've brought my special doffing hat out, and have doffed non-stop for 15 minutes now. My arm and wrist now ache. Quote
MB1 Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 MB1. EXCELLENTE! couldnt have spent another minute looking at all the "Rare Things?" on Ebile! Quote

Last I heard we had submitted a report to Google to remove the threat status now everything's clear. Cheers Quote
woodyratm Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Yay! Thought it'd need to do work whilst at work. Back to skiving... I mean research for something for work.... Quote
