As a result, Google flagged our site as potentially hazardous. A number of other major sites were compromised as well, including The Pirate Bay (http://www.thinq.co.uk/2010/9/17/pirate-bay-ad-flaw-downs-more-servers/) and After Dawn (http://www.afterdawn.com/news/article.cfm/2010/09/12/ vulnerability_in_openx_advertisement_server_afterdawn_s_ads_affected_as_wel l). We have patched the security hole in our ad server and remedied the damage caused by the attacker. Malware is no longer being served by our ad server. We have contacted Google to have the malware warning removed from our site. A big thanks to all our loyal users who sent us emails early yesterday morning warning of the strange behaviour! 09-17-2010 15:56 Tree Structure | Board Structure Jump to: Please select: -------------------- ROMNation.NET-- The General-- Console Gaming and Emulation-- Arcade-- PC Gaming-- Handheld-- Anime-- Sprite Ripping-- Support-- Flaming-- Rom Requests-- News TalkbackAll Guitar Tabs-- Noise-- Guitar Talk-- Bass Talk-- Drum Talk-- Vocals-- Other Instruments ROMNation Community Forums » ROMNation.NET » News Talkback » Malware warnings caused by vulnerability in ad server Powered by Burning Board 2.2.2 © 2001-2004 WoltLab GmbH
