Huh. I haven't been redirected or seen any warnings at all on my Chrome. I wonder if it's your antivirus software giving you the warning rather than Chrome itself. Or maybe what you're seeing is an ad. Try installing the AdBlock extension if you haven't yet.

Shades? We surely need something a bit more definitive?

Done. Thanks!

It needs to be cleared up for realz. While security is always ultimately in the hands of the user, we should not fear the consequences of using MDB.

Redirection is still happening. I still suspect it as at the hosting level................

I have pinned this thread. I have not heard anymore from Shades. Unfortunately, I don't have any answers. I have not had any issues today on my iPad, so I thought this was resolved. I will PM Shades to let him know we are still having issues. That is about all I can do. I don't have administrative tools to do anything else. Access the site at your own risk.

I did create the chatroom which is bugproof. Anyone is welcome to chat there.

Mav replied to me last night via e-mail that A) he did a quick fix, but B) the unwelcome code is more insidious than he thought, and C) he's in Costa Rica right now and so his Internet connectiveness reliability isn't what he'd like.

So, he's aware of the problem and will give it his full attention as soon as he's technologically able.

I get redirected half the time.

Dr. Shades,
I have a few hours to spare, if you want me to dig into the vulnerability and fix this send reply to the email I sent you.

;)

So are we interested in the source of the attack? Or do we already know what the source is, but don't care? Or are we just assuming it is random cyber-criminals who just randomly happen to be redirecting us to a TLD from a tiny and obscure Polynesian island with an 8x higher per-capita concentration of Mormons than the United States?
