DMCTalk is Infected. Again.

[ccurzio]

It will be taken care of and doesn't affect anyone's ability to use the site.

Actually it does, but ok.

Gotten redirected to http://filestore72.info/download.php?id=c86d8d12 twice in the past two days now. Don't know what's going on, but wanted to give a heads up since it just happened again.

Robert, I suspect you should update/change your virus protection software because that link goes straight to the URL:MAL virus...

[DMCVegas]

It's updated. I've also had the same exact thing happen on my PC at work, so it's happening on both Windows and OS X 10.11.

I don't see this at all from all the search engines I'm testing. I have a VBulletin expert monitoring the site and he pulled all the malware off of it 2 weeks ago. What search engine did you use? Could it have been a cookie maybe? I'll have him scan the site again to see if something was missed.

FWIW, I get a URL:MAL virus warning for the link posted (2 different: browsers, OSes, virus protection programs), so I would suggest the link be broke or deleted, in any case.

[DMCVegas]

Google Image Search was the search engine used that led to this redirection. Click back, then click on the very same link again, and then suddenly it works. Had it happen on Chrome in Windows 7 with McAffe, and Safari in OS X 10.11 w/ESET.

For what it's worth, when using GIS I had this happen 3 times on links to DMCToday as well. I'm not a member over there, so there were no cookies involved on that site.

If need be, I'll clear cookies and start fresh.

I followed your example and got:

Cleared cookies, ran a boot scan (clean), and got the same thing.

Thanks for all the information. My guy is looking into it and all of this is helpful to show him.

Just had it happen again. This time in Safari on iOS 9 via Google.
