what is this spam crap?

[Tii]

about one second after i hit the site i get this....

 

[Itchigo]

I got it too. I'm having a REAL problem at my site with spam. I had one spammer put porn up on my site with a caption: Approved by Administrator. Dude, you are soooo gone, lol. Hey Tii, you're welcome at my place, I'm not affiliated with VPF.

The PN front page is once again broken.
Somebody is trying to swap PN with a spam link.

Tii, did you click the Downloads link or any of the Attachments links? I haven't, and I haven't seen spam like yours just yet, so I'm guessing the spam is in the links, else your computer has caught a tracking virus from another site.

The PN front page is once again broken.

EDIT: Just had trouble posting my first reply, the one above this one.

Any connection to Tii's question?

Yes the front page has obviously been hacked again, I myself never get any of the effects of these hacks as I run firefox with many anti spam add ons...

I'll get onto JPH to fix it.

In the mean time...

Try FF 16.02, yes works fine on your site Tii, I just have to turn NoScript off..

I also have...

Yeah PN got hacked again, everything should be ok now but I'm still trying to figure out how it happened, somebody is doing bad stuff.

If you use an Admin password, I would try changing it, and make sure there is no Bot script that has been inserted by the hackers into the PN site files. You don't want that kind of file reading your passwords and then "phoning it home".

Problem is if the hackers have re-written one of the PN site files to insert the bad behavior. If you have a clean backup of the PN site files, I would replace the current ones with the clean backup files and change the Admin password(s).

Thanks sleepy, everything you have suggested has been done a couple of times already, I fear it's time to ditch the postnuke cms, it can't be upgraded.

Could this help? It's at the Zikula site, but is a page on improving site security when using postnuke .764 or earlier versions.

I hope you don't have to redo everything like at that "other" site. I still can't find anything there lol. I do get a weird malichious url notice when returning to the home page though. Something in Avast goes off, been happening for a while, I usually ignore it as scans haven't shown anything.

 

[Itchigo]

I'm switching my place from PHP to SMF because of stuff like this,

 

[sleepy]

EDIT: Ah! Clean sheets!

 

[JonPurpleHaze]

Sorry about the iframe hack, I finished getting the files cleaned out but this was a different problem that's also been fixed.

I appreciate you JPH. :)
