Is it just me that is getting messages that DHBC is blocked? Today I did a search for it in google, when I clicked on the link a message came up saying blocked site, installs malicious software?

I then typed the URL directly, Mozilla did the same thing. I had to change security settings to get on here. Anyone looking into this?

it sounds like it may be to do with a general problem on the site servers.

Site's front page got hacked yesterday and Jimmy has cleaned it up and seemed to have solved the problem. I am not sure if there are more malwares embedded since.

I understand the forum is unaffected.

On Thursday I noticed a "user bandwidth exceeded" message when I tried to log in. The site was off for around half the day.

Wonder if that was the result of a "brute force" hack?

On Friday the site was blocked on my work computer.
I had to resort to doing work.

As Weiyun said we got hacked on Thur 4/2/10. James C removed the offending code and files on Fri at around 15:00. The error you are seeing is because for 24 hours our site did have "Of the 1 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 1 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent".

The site is now fine. the hack only effected Internet Explorer and Windows and was a browser highjack. If you are being prevented from accessing the site then its your firewall or other security software that is preventing you accessing.

I was getting the error on Firefox from 30th Jan...?

It happened last month also, on the last day of the month, then everything fine on the first day of the new month.

I think the loss of accesses towards the last few days of the month were due to excessive data usage, a block placed by the host provider rather than any hack related issues.
