General Alert—This site might have been hacked

[Altritter]

Hi, Folks,

Sorry, but I've been out of the net for weeks/months. I have some spare time this evening, so I decided to say hello again.

I just had a mind-altering experience—twice—when I tried to reach this site. First time, I typed in the normal bmwnnn.aaa url. For about 1/2 second all seemed to be normal. Then, I saw a screen that said that I was being automatically forwarded — to what appeared to be a soft-core porn site. I punched out of the browser immediately.

Decided to try again. Double-checked my typing, then hit the return key. Same thing, except this time I was redirected to what purports to be an underground software site. Again, I punched out before bothering to read the url.

In case anyone is inteested, I'll state that I was using the most recent version of Safari for OS X Lion, which has all the latest announced security updates. So, how did I reach our forum to send this message? I went to my backup browser, an up-to-date, enhanced-security version of Mozilla Firefox (stripped down to its essentials for security reasons).

Has anyone else had this happen? More important: Mr. Webmeister, do you have anything in your cybertoolbox to fight this, if it is indeed an auto-forwarding hack?

Best to all,

John

Same problem last night.
Don't know what kind of site it went to, got out quick.
seems Ok today.

Not ok today.  I'm getting blocked by Avast for a trojan.  It directs me to a dsparking.com.  I came in through an old link to my personal profile.  Can't get to the home page with the regular address - r65.org OR bmwr65.org.  

I send a regular email to Justin and Rob.

No problems for me.  I use Explorer and have Norton Security.  No issues so far.

I have been getting redirected even with the /. Now I just hammer a topic the second it comes up and I sneak past the gate keeper. Once you're in  it's all good.

I have been having the same problem for a the last week. I tried blocking the sites that come up but it redirects to different sites. I will try blocking dsparking.com as it seems to be the first site that redirects it to the other random junk sites.
I'm not sure how I got through this time after multiple attemps?

[bruce_launceston]

Okay, that seems to have worked but time will tell. It is frustrating because I can't access this website to report the problem.
It doesn't happen when I link to any other of my 'favourites' so it does seem that this redirect scam has attached itself to this website.

Cheers

I have been having the same thing happen but it just blocks me, no weird web sites. Made a new link off google web search for R65 forum and that seems to work fine. Never have this problem from work only on my home PC.

Had to tempt fate didn't I!!!

Well at least now i'm the most popular guy on Facebook, have a 17" penis, and can keep the mrs satisfied for hours (as apposed to my usual times) with thanks to pills.

Not a bad re-direction after all!!
