ALERT Windows users

Post by Husse »

I am truly sorry to say so but we have the damned iframes leading to pinoc.org back
A backup was infected and now a clean backup has been applied and there is no more crap. This only lasted a few hours at the most
(from about 11 am to 12:45 PM CEDST = GMT + 2 hours)
Windows users should check that their antivirus is updated
I don't know if you have to click the iframes or if you are automatically redirected - I always use NoScript in my Firefox - install it and you are safe from this even in Windows

It's cleared out now, but there were iframes that could redirect you to some really crappy site which would install malware on Windows

@ GrayWizardLinux
Iframes are a kind of "invisible" frames
Get the noscript addon for FF and you're in no risk (because you could be redirected in any operating system)
