trojan/malware warning (merged threads)

can --Droid/My Touch-- cell phone get hit
ps im gonna do the same im offthis site till its fixed

 

I just use my phone too.....I don't know crap about computers so I shot mine with a 12 gauge .....problem solved. Any advise on buying a new one just for basic internet stuff....

 

I now have to use Internet Explorer 8 to use STR. My Safari Browser shows malware alert on the home page just like it did the Ride Report forum earlier. Google Crome browser keeps STR from loading warning that continuing may harm your computer. The worm seems to be spreading thru the STR site.

so what is being done? Getting warming on Mac/safari now in this thread. Suggests site has malware. Too much risk and not sure any evidence of being addressed? My work computer was jacked for two days before they could fix it. Can we get some update on what specifically is being done. Clearly something has to be addressed

 

I just downloaded the new Firefox and it wont even let me view STR without hitting "This isn't an attack site" about 3 times. I have gone into the security setting and "allowed" STR twice, it still looks like this:

 

I'm on Firefox/Mac... all is fine, but my Firefox/PC won't even go into the main page.. My Android Mytouch Lags when I log in STR... :?:

 

Internet Explorer 8 with Service Pack 3, and I have no idea what you guys are talking about....yet.

 

All I had to do in Firefox was uncheck the block reported attack sites box and it will load STR with no problem. I trust my AVG Internet Security more than the Firefox browser security "feature".

 

Sucks this site is dead.......I guess I will go to work now

 

I'm almost certain the site does not contain any viruses/worms. I'm thinking maybe the host server or IP was reported for suspicious activity (maybe one of the other sites they're hosting was was compromised & got black listed). It's a false-positive sort of scenario & all a web admin should need to do is request for removal (post test). I could be slightly off but I bet not by much.
Jorge, WTF?!

 

i googled str and this popped up

 

Double post. Plz delete.

 

Yeah, I guess you're right. Good call.

 

Folks, it's quite common for ordinary sites to become blacklisted for one reason or another, and it's up to the site owner or host to get the problem resolved. NipomoGuy's clue was spot on. Thanks, dude.

If you're a Safari user, go to Preferences, Security, and uncheck "fraudulent sites." I can make the problem come and go at will.

Here's another thought:
Software is often upgraded as a response to vulnerabilities. STR is running
vBulletin 3.7.1. The latest version is 4.0.4. It's entirely possible that Google is flagging all sites running vulnerable software.

 

lol! as i read that, the bourne movies ran through my head

 

Sorry, dude. I missed that. Good eye.

I'll still bet it's a weakness of vBulletin 3.x. I had a similar problem in a php script a few years back. Robots roam the web looking for vulnerable sites, then change the code so that users just viewing the site automatically download a malicious file. In this case it appears to be xro.php (whatever that is).

There is no longer any risk because the bad site has been shut down, but the hacked code is apparently still on STR. It might be difficult to get rid of without losing data.

 

Man I hope u tech guys figure this out......if u find out who did it give me a address I will personaly go beat some ass.....that's if it is actually done by a person. I'm bored no peeps on the site no good......thanks
