[Solved] "Sponsored by python-forum.io"
|
|
Does anyone know what's up with this? My ad blocker reports 5 things blocked, but this wasn't reproducible and when this does not appear just two things are blocked (which I also want to investigate). Did someone install something weird? Or did we get hacked? I have seen hacked forums in the past with low-probability redirects to spam.

I just tried to delete some spam, and when I did so, received a message that the post didn't exist
That might be because I deleted them first. I've purged two spammers tonight. I'd expect these to be unrelated.

I actually got the same exact popup on a completely different website too so it seems it might be some retarded browser change. Or your Chrome have been pwned...
Unless noted otherwise, code in my posts should be understood as "coding suggestions", and its use may require more neurones than the two necessary for Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V.

I have not had any problems. I havent added anything in a long time either. I dont check my adblocker, but after reading this i turned it off for the base of our forum just to make anything more obvious if it were to show up.

Such as admin accounts, server passwords, host etc. Just in case. Now that the forums are basically done with changes. EDIT: The only change that has happened in the past 12 hours is this http://python-forum.io/Thread-stop-forum...butor-list

Perhaps related, perhaps coincidental, chrome flagged one of my extensions as malware earlier this morning.
The extension was "w3chools hider" which blocks w3schools, or any chosen website, from appearing in google search results. I looked to see if it was still available extension and although the search for it still shows a page with a highly rated extension, trying to go to that page yields a 404. I wonder if this is the culprit as the timeing is pretty convenient. |
