Virus attacks while browsing HDD?

[Vsions]

Ive been getting multiple threats from this site starting today. Anyone else? I will try to list them the next time I see the threat.

[Lee Stewart]

Yes - it also happened to me a few hours ago

If you are visiting this site using Windows, I recommend using Firefox with the "NoScript" plugin.

Yeah the site makes Firefox freeze and have to exit after a while.

[Chief]

I have the same thing going on. I am running firefox and it just locks up.

[IB-Dick]

Can you give me a specific page that is giving you these warnings?

[darkdaze73]

I had one come up on me on Sunday(10/25) while trying to look at someone FS/FT thread in the blu-ray bargains section. IE user here.

IB, it just happens randomly, even when just looking at the main forums page to select a specific part of the forum.

[Stranger Danger]

I got 3 virus attacks on on my work PC and I frequent HDD at work. This bothers me.

[project-blu]

that means it's an ad if it's random pages. only thing that makes sense.

when it happens, can you screenshot the page w/ the ads on top and to the right? just tryin' to help the IB crew here, and i know they ask for screenshots when there's exploding ads.

Ya, it has locked up a few times for me on IE using laptops with both XP and Vista..... sometimes, Internet Explorer then will show the message that this site has been listed as a hazard...... It did seem that it was locking up when one of the big ads was loading to the right of the page here. I thought at first it was a result of some bogus Windows security updates because I have noticed several of these updates lately that have been pushed down on my machines over the past couple weeks.........

These attacks are hitting sites all over. I know Gizmodo was infected. Here's a link to theregister discussing the issue highlevel. Was trying to find more detailed article on secunia but havent found it yet.

So the attack came from here!!! sonofabitch

I had an attack Sunday (10/25) night while browsing the forum. I didn't connect it with the forum because there was a 3rd and 4th browser page opened to Google so i assumed the Malwear came from google.
The firewall stopped it and ad-aware tried to clean it up. Still took time to dig it out. I was using firefox if that matters.

The other thing I remember was it trying open a link to theyaredead(alldead?).net (com?)



mmmmDoNut, nice Flame Point Siamese.

[mmmmDoNut]

@Doctor: not sure why you stating "flame point" when I'm trying to help. EDIT. Such a dumbass not getting you referring to my critter. Never heard of flame point before and figured word flame in a forum meaning just that.

Also found some other information about these malware attacks that they are exploiting current vulnerabilities in jre, reader, and of course ie. Sites like msnbc, time, and people.com have all been hit with these viral advertisements.

From sources I know these advertisements are doing redirects to the following domains:

yrella.net
blusox.net
www1.dublira.net

And if exploits are successful, secondary redirects are going here:

gp5z.ws
64.34.174.24
64.34.172.142

Cheers.
