Me too. Sucks

Me too. Firefox was redirected IE just could not find page.

Hey Mods, what happened?

Me too, works now though...

I had the same problem earlier. Now that the site is back, though, every time I come over here, I get a pop-up from Kaspersky Security that says:

Application Firefox contains link to web page http://.../ads?client=ca-ib_travel_sede_1&output ...used to steal passwords, credit card numbers or other confidential information. Denied.

It still lets me read the threads though. At first I thought it was more of an issue with Firefox, yet when I go to any other website, I don't get that pop-up screen. Only here at Flyertalk.

We believe that the attackers found a vulnerably in a piece of software on the site. We became aware of the exploit last week and patched the software accordingly. Our security scan of the site did not uncover any additional problems, however someone had left a back door onto the server. We have located and removed the malicious scripts.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience today.

You mean for now. :rolleyes:

By the way, the recent technical, oh, what should we call them, SCREW-UPS are the reason I won't be subscribing to this site. At least until professionals are in charge. :td:

LoneStarMike, that doesn't sound good.
Does the alert popup still come up after IB's actions so far?

I'm confused. What do you mean by "subscribing to this site"? You have an account with FlyerTalk and you just made a post. Isn't that a subscription?

FT needs to get going on stuff...who will want to use a site that has secuirty threats. Thankfully, I use IE which blocked that and just kept the site inaccessible :)

If it's that site - report it to google so that their site get removed: http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_badware/

nope. there's a paid option which removes the ads (as does ....... for free, if you're using firefox) and gives you a larger mailbox.

So, your server was compromised and there is no statement issued by you stating that we should change our passwords?

Very unsecure.

I'm outta here.

One of the reasons I let my subscription lapse.

Got it. Thanks :D

I will not provide this site with any critical information until their IT reputation revives itself. IT security is way too important, how can this possibly happen...we got hacked, fixed it, then got hacked bc we actually didnt fix all the servers? Security please!
