i'm lucky Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Re: 32Red Web Site Virus warning Glad someone else is getting something I thought it was just me.Never got it before.Is this safe? I get this from AVG. I emailed 32red and this was their response.Don't think I will go back there for a couple of days. Thank you for your email, I can assure you that our website doesn't have any virus implemented on it and this is probably a script the web page need to run that your anti virus recognize as a threat. Hope this help and wish you a great night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friskyfitz Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Re: 32Red Web Site Virus warning Ok Im in there now and I havnt found anything yet. Ive trawled through the pages and nothing.... Now, The reason Im posting this is because I DONT HAVE ANY POKER SITES on my PC anymore. Ive also cleared nearly all the orphaned files as well so there is probably very little trace of me actually ever having them on my comp. Is it possible that something recognises the poker software and is trying to update it or verify it ?? I use AVG too :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Re: 32Red Web Site Virus warning Cheers frisky - what browser are you using? If not IE, could you try with IE please? Any problems at this link? >poker blog Need to wait a few seconds for the page to load (and then forward on to another page) Likewise, I'm Lucky, in a way relieved that someone else is affected (sorry :$) - I did consider it could just be me/local to my machine - but the fact we're both getting it seems to confirm it's 32Red end (though I'm using AVG too - so could also be a false positive). Did you get forwarded on to another web site as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i'm lucky Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Re: 32Red Web Site Virus warning I emailed 32red again and told them I'm not the only one. Here is their replay this time. Thank you for your email, I have double check the webpage and indeed seem to be something out of normal. When I first log in after your first email I had no issue but seem to have an alert as well and can't access the page. I will forward this to our IT department and ask them to investigate this. For the moment I would recommend not to access the webpage in case the website has been targeted by some hacker. Apologies for that and we should be able to sort this issue as soon as possible. Have a great night and we do apologies for the issue.

Mark_32Red Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Re: 32Red Web Site Virus warning Hi Guys, Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We've checked over the site this morning, and it appears that the blog software we use, Wordpress, was hacked over the weekend and a script added to the homepage. While we are obviously restricted by the software used on the blog - we do take any security breaches such as this very seriously and are currently working with our hosting company to identify the source. We're in the process of upgrading to the latest version of Wordpress and looking at ways to increase the security on the blog. We'll obviously be checking too - but if you spot anything unusual - please notify us immediately. I'd like to take this opportunity to confirm that, unlike our primary domains, the 32Red Poker Blog is not hosted by 32Red and none of our primary domains were affected by this intrusion. Many thanks, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
