Received a SQL injection notice when login[SOLVED]

[confusious]

I was logged into the linux mint forums and received this message:

IP The IP from the vpn came up.
URL: forums.linuxmint.com/search.php?keywords=starts+up+in+emergency+mode+and+won%27t+boot&fid%5B0%5D=90

Block ID: SQLi24
Block reason: SQL injection was detected and blocked.

I had just entered a problem I was having in the search forum and the message popped up when I hit enter. The only thing I can possibly think of is the fact I was connected to a vpn. I was using windows 10 on a seperate computer from my linux mint but since it has to do with the Linux Mint Forums I thought I should write something in the forums.

Does this seem like an attack on me, or from my network somehow attacking the forums. My mint was showing a screen "Welcome to emergency mode" I was also having problems on mint with the cursor doing its own thing and thats why I rebooted. This is a problem that could be connected to this hack I would think. Maybe these attacks are just on my network and affect all computers connected to that network?

Likely it was the apostrophe in your search query.

I don't see how an apostrophe could cause an SQL Injection warning. I don't remember if I used an apostrophe. It sounds like you have heard this before though possibly since I don't see if I used an apostrophe in the URL. I have used apostrophes by mistake many times in searches and this has never happened. I guess it's a possibility.

? Remember I am a newbie.

The %27 in the URL is an apostrophe. Anyone who pastes your URL into their browser will get this:

Thank-you for your answer. I'm sure that was the problem. My computer was acting suspicious at the time I remember. I forgot when I wrote this but a few of my other questions are also related to this. I discovered my drive had quite a few corrupt sectors on my disk which obviously got worst before I figured it out.

Sorry for answering so late. I found a few of my previous threads were incomplete so I am finishing them up and closing them like a good boy.

Cheers
