Anybody else experiencing fake redirects with IE?

[RESCUE161]

Every time I click onto batboard.batlabs.com using Internet Explorer 8, I get redirected to another random site that always ends in rr.nu.

Is anyone else having this problem? I've tried it on three different computers here and one of my neighbors computers, so I wouldn't think it'd be a virus. I have scanned my computers and found nothing. As a work around, I can use Firefox.

I have experienced the same both yesterday and today using IE8. Not sure about the redirected site as I managed to close IE before the page loaded.

No issues with IE9

[alex]

Should be fixed now.

[RESCUE161]

Still having the same problem.

[alex]

OK - Should be good... now?

[RESCUE161]

Looks good now! Thanks Alex!

Forgot to ask, what was the problem?

[nrembis]

It happened to me(re-direct) a couple hours ago using my android phone, all yesterday evening I couldnt load the forum because virus software was stopping the forum, saying malicious script was running, it was only the forum, the main batlab page with wiring diagram links worked ok.

The long and short of it? Looks like a hack.

Our host has been notified and copies of the database, original machine code, plus the HTTP logs have been preserved in an attempt to do some investigating. I know the host we use was the target of a hack the other month and this looks like spillover from that just catching up to this particular box.

Short of that I really have no further information.

No redirects with Firefox and Microsoft Security Essentials combo, but the computer would just sit and time out the connection during numerous attempts to connect to the board yesterday and today. All seems OK now.

[RESCUE161]

Cool. Glad it's back to normal.

[MassFD]

Yep, happened twice to me got to see a nice neked lady sitting on a toilet. Second time I closed it before the page finished loading.

If your AV / Anti malware software didnt pick it up you may have been infected with malware, i think the redirect was trying to install fake av.

I logged in normally Saturday morning. When I tried to log back in Saturday afternoon my A/V (Avast) immediately trapped a malware-infected page and blocked it. Subsequent attempts got a plain IE "diagnose connection" dialog. Sunday morning I got another malware warning. I'm running IE8 but have disabled my ISP's redirectors.

Glad it's working again. I was having withdrawal symptoms.

Yes, my AV stopped the page from even loading.
