SITE INFECYED

[ALLSTAR1]

DO NOT CLICK ON THE NOTE SAYING YOU HAVE MESSAGES... IT TAKES YOU TO A VIRUS INFECTED SITE! WHOEVER MONITORS THIS SITE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ASAP!!!

[Phil Lilley]

Where was the note exactly?  Where did it appear on the site?  Did it look like a note that would appear normally on OAF?

I need more info so I can turn it in.

Thanks, Phil

It was a flashing message at the top of the home page that urged you to check your messages and also was still there when you went to various forums. I showed it to my son in law who is in computer marketing and he said it was a common "phishing" tactic. I just checked my messages and it did not come up nor is it on the site anymore. again thanks..

Was it here?

Phil - Yes. I saw it for several days - sometimes said something about unfriended or other facebook messages.

NOW IT IS BACK....I SAW THE FACEBOOK ONE ALSO..

Those are generated by Google. They're Google Ads.  Not part of the site software.  Don't click on them if they look suspicious.

I never click on any of them. Sorry Phil.

I wonder who would be phishing a fishing forum.
