What's this?

Post Reply New Topic

When trying to access WP via Google Chrome over the last couple of days, I've frequently been redirected to an 'Online Schools Index'. Anyone else getting this? The words 'Frenkulok' and 'Angrek' seem to be related to this site. Looks potentially malwareish to me.

I've been getting those as well.

I've been getting a page that says The Connection Has Been Reset. My Norton antivirus gives me a warning message & the site address listed is not WP.

It's happened for me too over the last few days.

And even when it doesn't, I've been asked if I want Google to translate the page. It never asks me that on any other English page/site. When I click on "alternatives" just now, the drop box had options for never translating, always translating etc German. I did not see anything in German there.

i get a ransomware like webpage popup instead of this asking for download or stuff

Are the people running this site working on things? This is the first time I've signed in here in YEARS... and, that was the first thing I was greeted by... I see this has been happening for days. Someone needs to fix it. And a © of 2014 at the bottom might use some attention.
Gotta keep software up to date. What kind of software is this board running on anyway?

Yeah, I suppose it must be a common problem. The register thing simply doesn't work at all, and I'm concerned that if I log out I may not be able to get back in.

Of course, my advice would naturally be to stay as far away from these sites as possible (the malware and phishing sites, I mean). Otherwise, you never know what's going to happen.

Sincerely, this is a pretty big security breach.
