Forum Not Safe

[discordja]

An 'I'm sorry' to admins and wamas officers. I don't likely have the authority for this but I think it needs to be made known to visitors of our site because it's a serious security risk.

 

Our forum was hacked by a spyware/expliot gang known as traffdollars. Some of you may have noticed it acting weird, having trouble with posting, generall funniness. If you view the source of the pages you will see many iframe injections pointing to an unsafe location called doubleh.fr/audio/index.htm

 

This is a wmf/jar exploit (designed to compromise your machine) and if you are using IE (this does not appear to be a problem for non IE browsers) and are not patched or do not have an up to date AV software you need to do one or both. For a free AV program go to http://free.grisoft.com.

 

This is a known issue that was corrected in the 2.0.4 and later version of invision. Since we are using one itteration less than that we were struck.

Most likely, none of your personal information on these forums were compromised, but your system still could have been and this is your cue to clean up the mess. As far as the software, we will have to move to 2.0.4 or later (2.1.5 is the current release) or this problem will hang around.

Haha, I have noticed a few funny things but nothing serious. Of course I use Firefox as IE is so annoying, for lack of a better word.
