Apparently someone is trying to harm our site by posting malicious stuff through our Google Advertisements.

Very conveniently, Google has then identified our site as a malicious site >_<

The forums are safe again now since I've removed the google ads. For some weird reason nobody has the ability to edit any file on the website, so we can't change those right now. As such, please refrain from using the main site for now.

An investigation *will* be done. Google *will* be contacted.

EDIT: not yet over!

I've figured out how to remove the changed bits of our site, but we currently can't guarantee it can't be changed back. Please stay vigilant and don't click anything suspicious.
More details will follow.

It's still there, the Google ads weren't the cause!

What the hell is this.

If you have Firefox, you should be okay. If you are using internet explorer, it will crash.

Is this a recent thing? As in, it's just started happening today?

If you have Firefox, install NoScript right away! It blocks the attack right away! We can't change anything on the sites pages, so we're powerless for now!

Whoa, thanks for the NoScript thing.
This certainly is no good, any clues on who or what is doing this?

Like I said in my PM to Glod, Google Chrome crashes if you try to come here, I'm currently on IE8 and the only problem is that it wants to install some add-on.

Glodenox, is there any way you can block any connections from mmcounter dot com or divinets dot cn? Those are the ones Google Chrome's warning tells about.

I can't just block those things. I would have to change the files that got infected, but apparently the person who hacked us was even able to change the permissions of our FTP clients (through which we can change data).

All I can do now is wait for hiker. Unless someone knows how to contact his host.

I don't know if that helps, but I figure one of those last ones is who our host is.

This is not the first time I've seen this, Contact the leader of Violent Resolution or Graffik on our forums. He can help out I'm sure. He might know what to do.

Glode said in Chat that he thinks he's solved it. Seems it was only a script kiddie. He's having a well-deserved breakfast now. Thanks again Glode!
