I'm getting that on my home pc but not here at work, I thought it was just me. Anyone know how to get rid of it? I tried for a half hour this am and gave up.

Best as I can figure...AS has been "hacked" again. I think the third time in a couple weeks.

Seems to be the same 'crew' doing it...this time I think it started about 3 a.m. this morning.

I'm sure Darin and company are trying to fix it..!!

Disabling Javascript in my web browsers preferences seems to block the redirect for me.

Yea doing the same to me, Linkbucks needs to be shot. Or better yet they need to be hacked!!

Linkbucks has nothing to do with it. There is someone who compromised this site that added a linkbucks redirect.

clean slate

unfortunately, there is no fool proof way to clean a site up after they get compromised other than revert to a snapshot of the entire site taken BEFORE the original compromise. Typically this is done on a lot of sites daily or weekly, etc, the snapshots, and then stored offsite and in a lot of cases airgapped, on a removable disk not connected to the net at all. It means losing posts, etc put up from date of compromise until now..but that is the only way to get all the gremlins out. Wipe it clean, start with a known good previous snapshot.

You can *try* and get a site cleaned, but stuff like this is what happens, it only gets partially cleaned then the bad stuff starts again.

Same issue for me, running a mac here, have to ignore each add every time I click anything.
I don't know how to disable from Safari preferences.

I couldn't get on this morning at all, now it seems to work fine....so far. seems like not many are logged on, at least the l&f gang ain't on yet. maybe the fix takes time to work?

 

[TreeTangler]

This is starting to get frustrating. I'm starting to wonder how safe my info is.

 

[dancan]

How safe do you really think your info is in this day and age ......... Internet or not .

Kudos to the AS team for getting the site back up !
