Malware warning popped up
« on: August 07, 2015, 06:55:37 am »
Excuse me, When I try to go on the Ultima Ratio Regum thread on "other games" , malware warnings pops up.
What's happening?

Same here.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Apparently the reason is that there's an image in the thread which is hosted on www.ultimaratioregun.co.uk, and google has flagged the site as SUSPICIOUS, and blacklisted it for every chrome user.

https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ultimaratioregum.co.uk%2Fgame%2Ffiles%2F2013%2F04%2FDP2.png&client=googlechrome&hl=en-US doesn't explain why, either. It says "Part of this site was listed for suspicious activity 2 time(s) over the past 90 days." but then it says it ain't done nothin'. ::)

But is it really dangerous? Has anyone tried downloading and unzipping it?

Yep, my site has been hit with malware. Viewing the thread should be fine/safe though. Working on fixing it now, but if anyone knows a lot about Wordpress/FTP and can help me out, please let me know.

Urgh...

The game is not dangerous and never has been (though this thread has a rather misleading title which I don't appreciate!). I've confirmed everything on the site is untouched, except for this bit of malware in a php file, and anything else it might have inserted. I believe images etc are untouched, though I recommend staying off the site for now. Working on it.

Site cleaned, both my hosting company and Google have checked it and agree, and now upgrading my security. Sorry about that, everyone.
