Re: 4noggins URL getting hijacked

Yeah, and it's making my anti-virus software act up also. Something is going on.

It looks like someone DDoS attacked his page.

Re: 4noggins URL getting hijacked

when I go there the "JS Downloader trojan" is trying to get installed as well as "Infostealer". Be careful.

Re: 4noggins URL getting hijacked

Here ya go

http://www.4noggins.com/

As of about 7 o'clock he has the problem straightened out with his server.

On another site he stated the following in case you were worrying about financial info:

Financial information is not kept on either server. All financial data goes through a "Gateway" whose name is USAePay. They are the second largest gateway in the world after Authorize.net. No information is kept on my website or the host's website, so there is no chance of anyone's info being compromised. In three years of being in business, I have never had a customer's personal information hijacked.

Re: 4noggins URL getting hijacked

Yep, it's supposedly all better now, and I read what he posted on the other site and am satisfied with what was said...... But I'll wait until tomorrow before going to check for myself.

Re: 4noggins URL getting hijacked

I noticed it right after I placed an order with them. Appears to be a DNS hijack, without going into sweaty 'n petty details - the hijacker convinced a lot of DNS servers that it was the real site, sending (most) visitors there instead of the real site. And it attempts to install a trojan (update.html) but its an old exploit and most anti-virus thingies catch it right away. But the vendor server does not appear to be compromised in any way.
