JohnD Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 All, esp. mods and gurus, Clicked on my 'Favourites' entry for Sideways today, and the Firewall and hard drive went into overdrive. "Malicious website!" shouted the firewall, and the task manager showed a lot of activity in the CPU. So I went to this site by Googling for it, in case I had a corrupted address. Got in, but all the formatting to pot, looks very different. No forums or threads. Tried again just now and here I am, but clicking on one of the "Recent posts" gets this: "Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/ctrimble/public_html/forums/index.php(1) : eval()'d code:6) in /home/ctrimble/public_html/forums/admin/sources/classes/output/formats/html/htmlOutput.php on line 114" Plus more lines of the same warning with different, higher line numbers. The site has lost the usual appearane. The "Recent posts" column is way down the bottom, and not in it's own column; The forums sprawl all over the screen, and the font is bigger than normal. I should say that I got a similar warning from the Firewall yesterday, when I visited Ten-Tenths. Got in there and it looks completely normal. My firewall is Norton's, plus Ad-AWare Antivirus. What's up, Doc? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6 Nick Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Craig has gone on holiday, and the wee electrons have run amok ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Jones Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I had the odd header message earlier, first with no site, then with the site below. No security warnings. It seems to be normal again now...... Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6MK3 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Major patch issued while I was was aboard this Or driving this Patch applied from hotel room in Anaheim. Should calm it down, C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Mine still screwing around today (same messages by the looks). Interestingly this seems to be Firefox related...... can't get in at all right now from Firefox but straight in using Chrome...... Got growing number of issues with Firefox (and a bit of surfing suggests not just me) so may have to dump it. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomwah Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) Seems to be working, if a little oddly, using Firefox (version 16.0.2, OS WIndows 7 SP1) . However, it seems Microsoft's security scan found a Firefox file it did not recognise. Something is awry somewhere. We're all doomed, doomed, doomed I tell ye.

Nick B. Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 it is all because Craig used a new repro patch. He should have used a NOS patch. I tell ye, all these modern patches are absolutely rubbish and I dont know why we stick up with them ! cheers nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6MK3 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 As it turned out, we'd been hit by the very exploit the patch had been put out to fix. Hackers always get the first swing... The good people who provide the software we run on have now fixed the error, checked our files, and declared us free from further infection. I made sure they used N.O.S. files... Apologies for the hassles, we're back on line. C. What a fun thing on a holiday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSTEVEMKIII Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I may not post on here too much but do look in rather a lot Good to see it is back up and working.

Nick B. Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Strangely it only appears when I clik the folder-image next to the title - HUH??? Cheers Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Strangely or not, the TRR MsB is now under attack. My Norton lights up with a "Malicious Cookie Website" warning when I go there. Everything back to normal here, as far as I can tell. Well, as far as sideways does 'normal' .

Nick Jones Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Well, thanks to Craig for the effort put in even while on holiday!! Hopefully will be left in peace now! Cheers Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6MK3 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 All part of the friendly service, that's why I get the big salary round here... Actually I'm just bloody annoyed that it happened. Just finished an awesome 8 hour drive in the Mustang up Highway One from Anaheim to Monterey, I'll write it up when I get the chance. Off for dinner in Cannery Row, then San Fran tomorrow. Vegas Wednesday night, hopefully catching up with Steve while we're there. Sure beats working! John I'm not surprised if other sites are getting hit, the php injection nastie is a neat piece of work, and is being deployed on a wide scale. Keep your 'lectric friends firewalls up, and scan anything that looks awry. C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) The TRR website has STILL not cleared the problem. Doubleplusgood to Craig for his rapid and effective action! John Edited November 14, 2012 by JohnD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
