KC9DDI 11 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 There appears to be some sort of malicious JavaScript on this forum's web pages - maybe if someone could get in touch with the owner or an admin to get that looked at? This seems to happen fairly regularly on this forum, maybe its time to upgrade to newer, more secure, forum software? Link to post Share on other sites

Basementdweller 608 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 It is beginning to do it again. I am getting a link in my bar that says womans forum and ksoco.com books appear Link to post Share on other sites
BrotherhoodWWW 10 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Correct me if I'm wrong but it appears that the software package that this site runs on is proprietary hence I see it as rather unlikely that Scouter Terry is going to merge the site over to a proven stable software package such as vBulletin 3.8x.

trogers17 11 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 There are also links in everyone's profile and on the top of the page that read: kmono > book ksoco > book Link to post Share on other sites
Stosh 3452 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I've been getting bumped repeatedly by both Foxfire and IE for malware issues when using this site. Link to post Share on other sites
BS-87 30 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 The forum's infected with a malicious JavaScript. I got the malware from it on my computer and it's the "Vista Security 2011" scam that's been going around that infects your computer and tries to get you to buy the program to remove the stuff it plants on your computer... Fixed it with a System Restore, but had to go back a month and also run Avast! and Malwarebytes to do a bootscan... Avast! found it and there were like 20 different malicious JavaScripts. I'd suggest everyone check their computers... Link to post Share on other sites
MarkF 10 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 looks like I actually got lucky not posting on the forums for a while. No bad juju here atm Link to post Share on other sites
eisely 13 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I got a warning from my computer and ran a scan with McAfee and it found nothing. Link to post Share on other sites
KC9DDI 11 Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 It looks like it may have been fixed earlier today at some point? Or maybe late yesterday? Link to post Share on other sites
ScoutLass 10 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Every page in the forums is giving me the Firefox "Reported Attack Site" red page of death again. The recent threads also disappeared from the side bar, not sure if this is related? Link to post Share on other sites
Administrators SCOUTER-Terry 129 Posted May 24, 2011 Administrators Share Posted May 24, 2011 Folks - We repaired some exploits that occurred on SCOUTER.com last night, and believe all is well again. The code for SCOUTER.com is more than ten years old (the site's been online since 1995!) and has tens of thousands of pages, including thousands of free hosting sites for troops, some of which get exploited). Short of a total rewrite of the site (no small task), we're dealing with these as they come up, and working on locking down the most common exploit zones. Everything appears to be safe and secure now. Please feel free to post if you find anything suspicious or concerning. Link to post Share on other sites
