Main page may have a virus
« on: August 01, 2010, 12:00:35 am »
I went on http://planeshift.it/ and I have a Trojan thrown my way. Google Chrome/virus protector asked me twice if I wanted to enter, then my virus protector blocked all the info into my PC and I could happily carry on.

I would not use the website unless you are sure your virus protector will handle it.
You maybe roleplaying but you could still be OOC.

Confirmed. There is some rogue Javascript appended to the end of the main page. Probably the others on the site as well.

Yeah... its a Php hack. You have to be very careful with Php scripts outside of a protected directory.

thats why websites should allow advertisments :P
if you let advertisments advertise on your website, thats just asking for somthing bad.
i checked the site to check, and its true a thing poped saying there is a java script, and in the lower corner the virus protection said virus was removed.

This isn't from the advertising. Most likely either a module of the forum software has not been updated, or a script installed outside of the cgi directory has been compromised.

At the moment I don't see any warnings. Probably fixed for now. Troublemakers never die.

Yes, there was a trojan on planeshift.it, but it's fixed already.  :)

[10:58]   <Talad>   but there was a javascript on the main page added
[10:58]   <Talad>   I think they hacked the ISP
[10:58]   <Talad>   the code it removed now and so it's safe to navigate, but you can wait google banner to go away if you want

Edit: It's common knowledge by now that I can't type. Thanks, LigH.  :lol:

Not sure if anyone else had this problem, but if you are using Firefox with "Block reported attack sites" checked in the security tab.  It pops up a lovely thing saying it's insecure.  You can try to ignore it, but it still makes the site look weird.  I would only assume this has to do with these popping up suddenly on the site.
