Forum under cyber attack?

[Penguin68]

A number of posts are being made onto the Forum with the same html link (which I haven't followed and would advise not to follow) - Admin is taking them down pretty well as fast as they are posted, when they are reported, but be warned. Luckily their headlines frequently mention either sex or $US - so a good warning there, as neither are typical EDF fare.

Im quite intrigued by the Jose Aldo thread but dare not click on the link.

This is what I posted about yesterday afternoon in the lounge

I spotted that too, Penguin68. I?m glad wonderful admin is dealing with it.

Hey all,

I work with malware professionally and just took a quick look at the link to see if I could put folks mind at rest if they had clicked the link unwittingly. Good news is that there doesn't seem to be any drive-by downloads or anything - it's a fake blog website that loads a ton of ads (probably part of an ad-click fraud campaign). You can't rule it out though so please don't be tempted to click the links.

Hopefully the forums spam filter will catch up soon.

Best,

J

Thanks for your cleanup efforts, admin.

Hi, yes sorry about this. We remove them as fast as we can but they keep coming back.

I got my $10,000 though. Didn't everyone?

It might have been the Russians. I mean they were to blame for everything a few weeks ago...

[intexasatthe moment]

Admin - do you want ppl to report ? Or does that just mean you get loads of reports as well ?

( I've only just realised that I should post on the rogue thread to let others know that it's been reported .)

The head of Dulwich MI5 has just said the EDF attack was definitely of Russian origin.

Whoever they are, they're back...
