Has Toontastic been hacked?

When I go on there I see my browser loading something from evesteam.net, which Symantec tells me has threats on it: https://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?name=evesteam.net

 

Just then when I was on the forum index, Firefox told me I was missing Quicktime to display the page properly, then when I clicked on a forum I got some address at evestream.net and Adobe Acrobat Reader started up. Firefox then froze.

 

Wondering if this has anything to do with all those spammers they've had lately?

I reported the threat yesterday. Webshield said it was the exploit25 malware or summink.

balls.......I got that too [evesteam], and it tried to start windows installer so I stopped it. Asked daughter what sites she had been on  :blush:

 

Apology to her is in order I reckon.

 

Do you have any more info Dave ?

Dunno for certain Dave. Think it was associated, like you said, to the spam we've been getting. I suspect someone has (unwisely) clicked one of the links in the spam posts we've been getting before we've had chance to delete it and it's sent a worm away through the site.

 

Basically what it had done is appended the URL in question (evesteam) to the header/footer wrapper in the board skins. All I had to do was delete the link and hey presto - all OK.

 

Took me ages (and Ant's help) to find the fucker though....

We had something hiding in our code recently that we think had been put there by hacks to the Wordpress part of the site (the main site). Had to do the same thing, just find and delete it.

 

Make sure all your forum software and any mods are fully up to date, it amazed me when I found out how shite an outdated version of Wordpress could be.

What are the risks to posters' computers/PDAs etc, Dave? Have we been infected with an internet version of the bad AIDS?

 

:kasper:

 

On here it was just a bit of code that make some porno links appear for some. :laugh:

 

On Toontastic I don't think it was anything too dodgy, and any decent web shield should have stopped it anyway.
