TGO= Reported Attack Site??????


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Has anybody else gotten a warning through Firefox, that TGO is a reported attack site?

I've been trying to get on TGO this afternoon and everytime, I get a full page warning. I finally had to disable the warnings in Firefox preferences to get here.

Just thought David would want to know and see if it could be corrected.

Thanks.

Just got it. I went to TOOLS --> OPTIONS... --> SECURITY --> BLOCK REPORTED ATTACK SITES, and unchecked that option.

Works just fine, now.

Oh, I'm using Firefox 3.6.10.

Nope, did it on my Mac using Safari, as well.

Actually it looks like it's the network that TGO is hosted on, not TGO itself that's being tagged. There's no telling how many domains the hosting company has co-located or on their servers.

Good question. Probably not though. I've noticed an appreciable uptick in spam in general, some of which contains some very questionable code. Probably the web hosting company is having some security issues. It's an ongoing problem to keep a hosting network clean. Somebody is always trying to hack you.

Both AVG and McAfee Site Advisor show all clear.

No probs using IE.

This seems to be a Google database warning that shows in FireFox.

Makes sense that it would show in Chrome, but didn't realize that Mozilla and Google had such a interdependence.

Yep. I'm thinking the Comcast mail block last week is related. Looks like TGO (or the hosting service) made it on one of the big :D lists.

If you own or manage a website, you are responsible for that website’s security. Compromised websites can infect visitors with badware, and are commonly blacklisted by search engines, web browsers, and security vendors.

Many legitimate websites are the targets of malicious hacking attacks, during which code linking directly to badware is inserted onto an otherwise innocent, but poorly secured, website. Another common way that legitimate sites are compromised is through third-party content such as the ads provided by an advertising network, which can be used as vectors for the distribution of badware.

Where to go next:

Search for your website in our Clearinghouse to see if it has been reported as badware.

Learn how to find and remove badware on your site.

Get help with cleaning and securing your site from our BadwareBusters.org online community.

Remove your site from our partners’ badware lists.
