Forum hacked?

Forum hacked? Getting lots of pop ups and redirects.

 

[FordF150]

Maybe it's just you that was hacked.

I get no pop ups

 

[HiLife]

Possibly. It wouldn't be the first or second time. There is a problem with bots in the past.
As of this moment, the site is working perfectly for me. No popups or redirects on my connection.

Every minute or so I get redirected

Not sure how to proceed. Change password? I don’t know

Not happening on any other website I visit

You have a mal ware on your device you need to remove. Google, prize won mal ware pop removal.

Looks like a browser exploit that redirects - do a Reset to Defaults if you are using Chrome. If you are syncing your browser and also have a computer, you can do the Reset there and check your Extensions for unwanted/unknown bogus 'helper' apps like Doc to PDF Converters, Coupon Managers, Search Assistants, etc.

Thanks for the replies all.

I’m on iPhone.

I just did a software update, cleared my cache, restarted my phone... seems to be fixed now.

Odd it was only happening in this forum, not other websites.

For some reason I'm getting more warnings before entering this site than usual.

I've never received any on any device.....chrome on everything....

My antivirus (avast!) loves to freak out over this site cause there's all but zero security to it

Yeah, we can tell lmao
If I'm not mistaken going through 3rd party like tapatalk is more secure

 

[Endlessblockades]

I don't use any AV but I am behind an industrial-grade .Gov hardware firewall (with all kinds of kid-protections and Google Safe Browsing, etc.) that loves to complain about vulnerable sites. Oddly, it has no problem with Toyota 4Runner Forum - Largest 4Runner Forum - Powered by vBulletin and neither does Chrome or FF :surfer:

Sounds like you need to beef up your cybersecurity. This is probably the shadiest site I frequent.

Well I haven't been hacked, don't see stupid pop ups or ads (thanks adblock), have super tough passwords, even for this site, keep winders up to date, never use windows for store logons (all from memory!)...

So what's to beef up? I could use help if there is some to be had, thanks!

 

[T4topher]

I’ve been getting redirects since like yesterday, definitely something going on with this site. Not happening as much right now though

 

[FD7683]

On 2020 MacBook Pro using Chrome and no virus popups here. Chrome is a secured place to be in since I get warnings here and there about potential viruses.

I’m new here but I was getting redirects as well I’m browsing on my iPhone. I’ll see if it’s the same on the laptop tomorrow

Yeah, after installing the latest software update on my iPhone, clearing my mobile browser cache, and restarting my phone, the popups/redirects went away for one day.

But today I'm seeing the popups/redirects again on this website.

It's ONLY on this website. And only on mobile. No issues on any other website at all.

I'm not seeing any issues with this website on the Macbook with Chrome. Only issues with this website on my iPhone.

Just Google Turn off Push Notifications from goodluckdog.space

Or How do I get rid of Goodluckdog space on my iPhone?

I usually only see this stuff after accidentally clicking some add on pornhub.

 

[cl4Rk]

Yeah does seem most likely to be malware on my phone. I've just never had any malware before this, and it still seems odd that it's only showing up on this forum website, no other sites. I will just restore my phone from a cloud backup or something. Thanks all.
