Oolite BBS in Malware warning

Post by JazHaz »

I just tried to refresh the Oolite BB in my Chrome browser, when I got a Malware warning, saying that there is code added to the board. To get here I had to "proceed at my own risk".

Anyone else concerned about this? The message seemed to imply we had been hacked....?

Google's Safe Browsing diagnostic doesn't currently have any warnings:
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diag ... /index.php
and gives the site a clean bill of health for the last 90 days. I assume Chrome uses this service, so the warning you got was probably "one of those things" ...

Likewise with Norton's Safe Web - aegidian.org has been analysed and is clean.

I just got one as well. I know it's crap, but just thought I would let you know what I was doing when I got it. May help in resolving things with Google. I started a new response in the Ship Request thread, then hit changed my mind and hit cancel... boom!

The original link that generated the warning is in this topic. It is the last picture in that posts that points to the dubious site that is mentioned in above post and likely the reason for above warning. So probably cripple that link also to avoid these malware warnings when browsing that topic.

Thanks, Eric - I've deleted the link. Looks like their site got hacked.
