Codex = malware

[JarlFrank]

Just wanted to check the gifs thread and my browser told me he blocked access due to it being an attacking website.

Seems someone posted something bad in there.

 

[racofer]

This just happened to me as well. I told firefox to fuck off and let browse mah codex.

 

[ManjuShri]

Yes I'm getting from the Site Feedback main page and Science forum threads. Seems to be global.

 

[JarlFrank]

K. Weird. Maybe some butthurt person denounced the Codex or something.

Or the term attacking doesn't refer to viruses or anything but to the 'dex attacking one's sanity.

 

[Brother None]

Looks like Google found something it didn't like an got the Codex listed as malware. Chrome whined at me too: http://safebrowsing.clients.google....ww.rpgcodex.net/&client=googlechrome&hl=en-US

 

[Commissar Draco]

All those Juice and Niggah threads can't go without retribution not on ''Land of Free'' owned Internetz anyway... Had the same screen on Firefox while accessing the Codex Forums.

 

[Gord]

Might be an add banner thats not safe.

I got it too.

 

[Oesophagus]

yup, entering the dex makes chrome go batshit

 

[Zed]

i got a google warning

fuck da police

 

[Darth Roxor]

I get nothing of the kind.

Serves you right for using inferior browsers

 

[St. Toxic]

What the fuck is badware supposed to be? Sounds like something out of children's sci-fi.

 

[Lyric Suite]

CODEX IS MALWARE

According to Chrome, at any rate. Happens everywhere, except for the science forum.

 

[Darklife]

The entire site seems to be corrupted at this point.

 

[Angthoron]

Getting "Reported as Attack Site" as well, clicking for details gives zero reason for it, however.

 

[Commissar Draco]

The entire site seems to be corrupted at this point.

You know there's only one solution for this:

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

The message I got told me some 1 person has reported the codex or some such.

Using Chrome and it wouldn't let me in unless I spam "I continue on my own responsibility".

Mikä on sivuston rpgcodex.net tila on tällä hetkellä?
Sivusto on merkitty epäilyttäväksi, ja verkkosivustossa käynti saattaa vahingoittaa tietokonettasi.

Sivuston osasta ilmoitettiin epäilyttävän toiminnan takia 1 kertaa viimeisten 90 päivän aikana.

Erm ofc I have a Finnish browser. That part says the codex has been tagged untrustworthy and visiting it may damage my computer (lol). It has been reported for suspicios activities once in 90 days.

Mitä tapahtui, kun Google kävi sivustossa?
Viimeisten 90 päivän aikana sivustossa testaamistamme 231 sivusta 1 sivulta ladattiin ja asennettiin haittaohjelmia ilman käyttäjän lupaa. Google kävi sivustossa viimeksi 2012-12-30 ja sivustosta löydettiin epäilyttävää sisältöä viimeksi 2012-12-30.
Tätä sivustoa ylläpidettiin 4 verkossa, esimerkiksi AS19066 (WIREDTREE), AS13335 (CLOUDFLARENET), AS21844 (THEPLANET) -verkoissa.

On the last 90 days out of 231 pages tested on the site from 1 was downloaded malware without the users permission. Google visited the site last 2012-12-30 and on that date they found suspicious content. K?

Onko tämä sivusto toiminut välittäjänä, joka on jaellut haittaohjelmia eteenpäin?
rpgcodex.net ei näytä toimineen välittäjänä sivustojen tartuttamisessa viimeisten 90 päivän aikana.

Onko tässä sivustossa ylläpidetty haittaohjelmia?
Ei. Tässä sivustossa ei ole ylläpidetty haittaohjelmia viimeisten 90 päivän aikana.

Mistä tämä johtuu?
Joissakin tapauksissa kolmannet osapuolet voivat lisätä haittaohjelman koodia laillisiin sivustoihin, jolloin näytämme varoitusviestin.

Basically the codex doesn't provide you with your malware but possibly a third party (?).

 

[GarfunkeL]

Yeah, Chrome warning about Codex in its entirety.

 

[felipepepe]

Same here on Firefox, entering the Wasteland 2 leaked pic thread gives me massive warnings...

 

[Monty]

Perhaps Fretrider was angry at his threads being retardoed and complained to the 'authoritahs'.

 

[Azael]

Codex dangerous to visit? Makes sense. I get the warning to.

 

[Jaedar]

It might be an ad or something that causes the warning?

It's gone for me now.

Bros, if you check the problem report page posted earlier, it says:

Of the 231 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 1 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2012-12-30, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2012-12-30.

It wasn't a disgruntled user complaining to the authorities. It was detected automatically.

The problem appears to be originating with a malicious ad banner hosted on sorcerers.net, according to a second problem report:

Of the 692 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 1 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2012-12-30, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2012-12-30.
Malicious software includes 24 trojan(s), 1 exploit(s). Successful infection resulted in an average of 8 new process(es) on the target machine.
Malicious software is hosted on 1 domain(s), including izumishop.com/.
2 domain(s) appear to be functioning as intermediaries for distributing malware to visitors of this site, including buildmediapc.com/,adexcite.com/.

Paging DarkUnderlord.

 

[InspectorRumpole]

Come on guys, we all know by now the codex is malicious

 

[DraQ]

So maybe DU should consider using some less shitty (and also less annoying) ad provider after all?
