Re: This site full of malware?

There is a lengthy thread in the Feedback forum going back over a year with complaints about it. The site owners don't seem to care, which is par for the course.

http://forum.dvdtalk.com/forum-feedback-support-4/

It's one of the reasons I don't visit here near as much.

No, it's just your phone. It's probably infected with lots of viruses.
On the plus side, there's a good chance you could win $1000 if you know who created Facebook...

How do we know you didn't bring the malware in here with you?

Re: This site full of malware?

I never browse here on mobile devices, so I haven't been aware of the problem. Guess it's just another nail in DVDTalk's coffin.

Everything was fine this morning and now my dog is suddenly barking with a Russian accent. Do you expect me to believe that this is just a coincidence?

Dunno guys. There are two sides to this. How about we just let the malware speak. Maybe it has something valuable to say, maybe it doesn't. But it should have the RIGHT!

Look at it as an opportunity to install an adblocker on your iPhone.

Re: This site full of malware?

It is a non secure site, from Chrome on the subject matter:

"The site isn't using a private connection. Someone might be able to see or change the information you send or get through this site.

You might see a "Login not secure" or "Payment not secure" message. We suggest that you don't enter sensitive details, like passwords or credit cards.

On some sites, you can visit a more secure version of the page:

Select the address bar.
Delete http://, and enter https:// instead.
If that doesn't work, contact the site owner to ask that they secure the site and your data with HTTPS."

I'm not allowed to. Other people can, I can't.

I'm not allowed even mention those chocolatey-fudgey cake like things you put in the oven. Hell, I can't even separate my laundry anymore. Such is the life of a raging closet racist who believes all people are inherently equal.

Re: Ads redirecting me to cam girl site MERGED

I've noticed the browser hijacks have stopped for me on both my iOS and Android devices (for about the last 2 weeks). Anybody else seeing this? Did we fire the ad company or are they actually acting ethically now?

Has it been since, oh, the 19th or so? When HTTPS was enabled? I noticed in the browser console logs that there are a number of ad-related Javascripts that are no longer loading, because they're being called via HTTP on HTTPS forum pages. An unexpected benefit to moving to HTTPS? At least until they fix things to load those scripts over HTTPS.
