Recommended Posts

Posted

A warning that Vpinball.com site may have been hijacked. @TerryRed noted on FB that he has reached out to @randr whom will attempt to address upon his return.

I had this morning that the site wasn't reachable, because a recirect od a dns entry wasn't found. But since a couple of hours, the site is working.

Or is that the hijacked site ?

The post was 16 hours ago. No response that it had been resolved otherwise. Terry is usually pretty good about keeping info current so use at your own risk I guess until something is said officially.

It seems to look fine from any browser but anti malware software is picking it up.

I would advise to avoid the site right now until we get an official response about it.

Basically it happens and it sucks when it does and you have to be pretty technically proficient to sort it out sometimes.

Agreed. I suggested Edge if not used before to access the site just in case clearing the cache within Chrome did not entirely clear, which we run into frequently when troubleshooting our Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP solution at work.

Totally sucks that people have to do sucky things.

Might still be an issue. Cleared site cache in chrome but Avast still spits out a warning and blocks it on login attempt;

Did you brought it to @randr his attention?

I'll investigate my end more later. If no-one else is having the issue then i guess my cache may not have cleared fully. Thanks for that

Update;

Getting an Avast URL:Blacklist message in Edge. Cleared all caches and retried, same result. Reported as potential false positive to Avast and they have responded "Our virus specialists have been working on this problem and they informed me that this detection is correct.".

So i'll steer clear for now. @Mike_da_Spike, not logged in on vpinball to let randr know - but im sure he'll be aware.
