Deceptive Site Warning

[Fitzcarraldo]

When I went to log in via Firefox I got this warning:

Deceptive Site!

This web page at www.hungangels.com has been reported as a deceptive site and has been blocked based on your security preferences.

Deceptive sites are designed to trick you into doing something dangerous, like installing software, or revealing your personal information, like passwords, phone numbers or credit cards.

Entering any information on this web page may result in identity theft or other fraud.

Any comments from the site ownership regarding this?

[darkrose2000]

I am getting this message as well since this morning.

Using Chrome browser (London)

[william.howl]

I got the same warning with Firefox and I submitted a report to google that the site is not deceptive.

[Lester316]

Most likely someone malicious has reported Hung Angels as deceptive just to be an asshat would be my guess.

[timxxx]

Same here

[Torris]

Is this part of Google's fake news crackdown?

No problem on Safari

[rbiller]

For the last couple of days, I get a warning that there is a deceptive site ahead that make trick you into doing something dangerous like installing software or revealing personal information, when I try to access this site on Chrome. Has anyone else had this problem? It will not allow you to get through to HA.

[Jericho]

Same here (with firefox).

[snide22]

got it here on google chrome

[Nikka]

same here firefox

[Fitzcarraldo]

Just logged in again and got no warning.

[Laphroaig]

I've had something similar. Didn't get the warning, but instead was redirected to "filestore72.info" website, which then tried to get me to download software to "clean" my laptop.

Scanned my laptop (Norton and Malwarebytes) and came up with nothing, so did a bit of digging last night and reported it, as it appears to be an issue which affects vBulletin sites.

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=306733

Now I see a warning saying "this site may be hacked" if I google "hungangels"

[jh82]

Yep. Same here. Chrome gave me deceptive site warning. Out of curiosity, I tried with IE and was redirected to a site that tried to install malware.

[kingkong12]

Me too, I got it when I tried using Chrome. Now I am using Firefox which does not seem to be a problem.

[Boomerang Man]

I'm a Chromeosone and I got the warning & then got kicked on to a dodgy download software landing page

[GroobySteven]

Working on it

[Russ]

Thanks for the info everyone.

Unfortunately myself and our server tech are unable to replicate this redirection which is making it hard to solve!

We've made some changes now, so please let us know if you're still being redirected, and only redirected! If all you're seeing is the Malware Warning, that's fine, that will hang around until Google re-crawl the site and mark it as clean!

[SP27]

log in 11/24. 835 est, firefox, listed as deceptive site

[mrrawuk]

01.43 am and deceptive site.

[Russ]

See above - please only advise if you are redirected to the filestore72.info website.

The deceptive site warning is going to stick around until Google clear it - the request has been placed with them.

Ta!

[Johnny Assplay]

Same warning. Using Firefox.

[parts25]

Same deceptive site warning on firefox.

[Ben in LA]

No problems via Safari on my iPad...

[Gillian]

This is the alert I get from Avast!

981521

Turning off Avast's shields allows access, but obviously not the ideal solution ...

[admin]

One of the issues we have is that we can't replicate this problem - the problem being the redirection to filestore72.info.

When testing we can see the alert but we haven't been able to replicate a single instance of the site being redirected to this mysterious filestore72.info domain.

I will run some searches of the files on the server to see if I can find any base64 encoded content and any other signs of malicious uploads.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone is still getting redirected to this filestore72.info site from this point in time onwards as we have applied a full upgrade which appears to have replaced pretty much all of the programs which make up the forum.

[jh82]

I got redirected just the one time using IE. I haven't got that again since. I just tried IE, Chrome and Firefox and all I get is the warning with Chrome. Other then that, no issues now.

[Stavros]

No problems this morning (25th of November @ 11.15m) using Firefox. Yesterday I was puzzled because I could access the home page and every other product except the Forum, which did not make sense of the 'deceptive site' warning, so I just used another browser, Safari placing no barriers to access. Someone out there maybe doesn't like the Forum or was just trying it on to see if their nasty software works.

[Ben in LA]

Using Firefox on my iPad...no problems. Hmm...

[peejaye]

Just logged on with IE & no problems, 12.45 GMT.

[admin]

Google have said they've removed the warning but it might take a few hours to come into affect.

I did locate a few files which shouldn't have been there so perhaps deleting these has fixed the issue and with a bit of luck the upgrade will prevent it happening again, until the next software bug is found in a few months time.

Thanks for your help !

[ILuvGurls]

damn, missed all the excitement.....didn't see anything here, using Firefox

[knighthawk]

When I went to log in via Firefox I got this warning:


Any comments from the site ownership regarding this?I've also encounted the same issue as well using Firefox.

[darkrose2000]

It is solved here.
I did not show the warning anymore.
London - Google Chrome

[Gillian]

Still getting it (Windows 10, Chrome, Avast!)

[JohnnyWalkerBlackLabel]

Got it also, using avast, turned off the WebShield feature as posted earlier and all is well..........
mobile devices still blocked but Google needs a few hours.................. also listed earlier

this is a common thing on many sites, shocked it took this long for it to affect HA, interestingly it only affected the forums not the main site

No more problems for me (touch wood). The filestore redirect only happened when doing a Google search for hungangels, then clicking forum link and that appears to be OK now. Using a bookmark or typing the web address to access the site directly didn't give any issues. Doesn't make a lot of sense (to me), but seems to be consistent with the previous reports of this occurrence which I posted links to.

[kingkong12]

Well, five minutes ago I just tried logging in with my Chrome browser and to my dismay I was successful. I guess the problem has been resolved. I got to give it to the techs guys or women (no discrimination here) that is some nice problem solving.

Ps

I still wondering what caused the problem though. Was your site hacked or maybe the traffic to your server was somehow redirected. Well I guess I/we never know....

[rbiller]

Yes, A big THANK YOU to the problem solver.

[Gillian]

Not solved at my end, and I don't see how anyone can be credited with "solving" a problem that has yet to be identified.

What is the recommended solution? Turning Avast's shields off and back on is getting quite tedious ...

Why was it to your dismay? Did you not want to access the site?

[Gillian]

For the record, I can access the boards using Chrome on my iPad Pro...

[Gillian]

Seems to working fine now on my Windows 10 and Chrome desktop ... :)

[Fitzcarraldo]

I got the same alert until today, so I didn't bother trying to go around it. Glad to see it's fixed.

[Hottie]

I'm glad to see i can access again this forum !
Last week (friday ?) Firefox+Google were warning about possible hack of it ?

[Stavros]

Deceptive Site warning block in Firefox this morning (@8am), am using Internet Explorer to write this.

[admin]

Yes, it's back again. We will be looking into this today.

Thanks for the reports !

[Gillian]

Same here. I knew I was tempting fate ... :D

[Lester316]

Likewise - happening again using chrome.

[schtick1]

Same issue here on chrome this morning. 6:08 am CST

[GroobySteven]

We don't need it reporting anymore - admin reported 3 posts back that we're working on it.

[Gillian]

Just fixing it would be fine ... ;)

Warning is back today :/
Is somebeody have the same thing ?

[rbiller]

It's happening again on Chrome. Can anyone fix this problem?

[lifeisfiction]

Google says this site is hacked.

[iam mok]

Can't quite figure how or why Google should interject their warning into a site that I have on my bookmark list. I'm not even using chrome.

[SXFX]

well that was an odd warning for this web page from FireFox
What gives?

[Queens Guy]

Has anybody else been getting 'dangerous' or 'deceptive' website warnings when trying to log-in. I haven't logged in for a few days. Safari was doing its best to not let me browse. Chrome gave a warning or two, but it's working fine now.
Anybody else been having problems?

[steviedresses]

We better get used to it. All the ISP's are hyper sensitive to any type of 'bad' sites that might harbour any type of malicious software. Google, MS, Firefox, your own ISP, They are all going to start freaking at every turn and try to keep us from our porn sites. Assholes.

No offence to HA but the internet is a cesspool. And I'm not just talking about porn sites. Half the shit on yahoo is garbage. careful what you click on there.

I have two machines. A smut machine that I can blow away because i expect to get it fucked up... and a 'work' machine that I keep backed up, and only use online for very select things. It's the only way... cause if you whore around on the internet long enough... you will catch something.

[Hottie]

Warning is back today :/
Is somebeody have the same thing ?

Wooo, my message has been moved here, I was wondering why i could'nt see it where i posted it yesterday.
Glad to see the admin is aware.

I've never been redirected (Firefox 50 on Windows10).

Good luck admins with this annoying this.

[Post Op Preferred]

Ftom the warning page I just clicked on details and then accepted the option of "proceed to dangerous site". there are some threads here with links to spam but it's easy enough to avoid them

[NikkiTS]

Also getting Deceptive Site warning, not getting any mail either cause of this.

[flabbybody]

When I have a PC issue at work it takes the IT folks 4 days to even acknowledge my open ticket. feedback is great but now everyone needs to calm down a bit... be patient, the issue will be resolved ASAP

[TSLoverIB]

Well like every one else, got a deceptive warning trying to access the forum today.

Clicked ignored, but still keeps warning me, a dozen times now.

Been using firefox, looks like its in several browsers. Reported to google my Google Safe Browsing report.

Told them to pull their head out of their asses, that the site has always been safe.

Who in the fuck reported this site as deceptive?

Been coming here 10+years, NO ISSUES.


Getting really fed up of idiots messing up things for everyone.

Welcome to Trump's America?

[Vladimir Putin]

I'm getting it in both my Firefox and Chrome browsers.

[Ben in LA]

I've yet to receive the message on my iPad using Firefox AND Safari, so I don't know what's up.

[filghy2]

I think these things work through automatic reporting by your browser (unless you turn this feature off), rather than someone choosing to report a problem https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/privacy/whitepaper.html?hl=en-US#malware. Even if there was just one infected file or link posted somewhere on this site, site blocking may be triggered if people keep clicking on it.

[Vladimir Putin]

OK, it's gone from both my browsers now - for now at least.

My earlier post was me posting from my Chrome browser on my iPhone. When I posted then, I had access to a more scaled-down version of this forum.

[mrlogic]

This seems to be related to a "poisoned URL" which forces a redirect to a forced download of potential malware. As others have reported, clicking on the "Escort Reviews" link redirects to "filestore72.info". This is a common tactic used by propagators of Mac malware to try to trick people into downloading and installing stuff with names like MacCleaner, iCleaner etc. I don't know what, if any, effect this would have for a Windows user. It would be interesting to know if this experience is cross-platform or not.

From my experience, it's only the Google link that is poisoned; it should be possible to head to the top level domain URL from a bookmark or desktop shortcut. If not, you may have to turn off warnings in your browsers prefs/security settings

[Stavros]

No problems accessing the forum via Firefox this morning, c9.00 am.

As a Windows (Firefox and Opera browsers) and an Android (Chrome) user, that's what I've experienced as well, except the redirect happened from any google generated "hungangels" link.

Again, that's what I've observed and have circumvented the issue in the same way.

[Fitzcarraldo]

I got warnings yesterday, too. No warning today. Strange.

Hi,

Has anyone seen this redirect happen recently like in the last couple of days ? I know the warning appeared again yesterday.

Also, has anyone seen the redirect on Windows or is it just targeting Macs ?

Google have given us the 'all clear' today after we made a small change but I suspect that there might be more than just this one incident here.

Thanks

Neil

I was seeing the filestore redirect on Windows (never used a mac), but I bookmarked the site a few days ago to avoiding using google links to access, so wouldn't see the redirect now.

Thanks for all your efforts to get to the bottom of this and fix the issue...:cheers:

I have a Mac. I got the message for a good part of the afternoon yesterday, but I was able to access your site yesterday through my iPhone, but only to a more scaled-down version of your site.

That's what i did lap as well, had the site booked marked for years, cleaned my pc. Avoiding google links all together to direct here.

[Fitzcarraldo]

Just got the deceptive site warning again.

[Stavros]

Just got the deceptive site warning again.

Same here in the UK @ 3.15am on Firefox. Using Internet Explorer to write this.

[tao1kiku]

Got it as well

[ts4me]

On a Chromebook using Chrome browser. Got error msg when clicking from hungangels.com top right nav link and again when I try to view threads in a new tab.

[Gillian]

And yet strangely I'm not getting it now ... :whistle:

[jharder]

Got just right now....

[nitron]

Just got ..deceptive site warning ...... an hour ago for first time,then went to clear it and got this... firefox/google phishing warning, to which I cleared it as safe..

[sukumvit boy]

This is getting to be annoying983293983294
Using Windows 10 with Chrome browser , if that helps.

[Newcomer]

today again, windows/firefox

[Gillian]

And yet strangely I'm not getting it now ... :whistle:

I knew I'd tempt fate. It's back this morning ... :(

[tslvr]

It's back again.

[Enthusiast]

I get "suspected phishing site" on Safari

[bluebottle]

just got it.............

[Hottie]

After days of telling Firefox "this is not a deceptive website" and browsing FA correctly, tonight warning is back again ;)

[rbiller]

Back again on Chrome. This is really stupid.

[ILuvGurls]

Back with Firefox as well

[admin]

We've made a change and notified google of the change.

Their website says it can take days to process this.

The warning can be ignored.

[GroobySteven]

Back again on Chrome. This is really stupid.

Want to send me a refund for this?

It's mildly irritating.

Nobody is paying for this site. We're working on it. Constant moans isn't going to make it change any faster.

[admires69]

Is annoying the heck out of me; could you resolve please?

[youngblood61]

Can't use my Mac, using another computer. But this one is getting the warning to.

[CoolAwesomeBXDude]

I can't even log onto my computer. I Have to use my phone to acess this site

[sukumvit boy]

We've made a change and notified google of the change.

The warning can be ignored.

:Bowdown:Thank you , that's all we were all just hoping to hear .
And thank you , GroobySteven , for your always warm and loving support .:banana:

[GroobySteven]

Is annoying the heck out of me; could you resolve please?

I've a really easy resolve for this. It will stop you getting annoyed at this website - and thus, I getting annoyed at you.
Would you like me to process that?

[youngblood61]

Thanks for resolving the problem.:banana:

[Fitzcarraldo]

Yeah, I haven't been in for two days because Avast said the page has a virus.

We don't pay for the site, but we certainly won't be clicking on any ads in it if we get warnings it can't be trusted. Anyway, it seems to be fixed again, so good ... until next time. It doesn't seem like reporting an issue with the site not functioning should be a problem.
