JimF-LowBari Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Hey folks early this morning and about an hour ago got some weirdness. Go to dcp and see the website. Then 2 seconds later get this Walmart survey win something, click here website (so it says). Then it starts cycling to other sites that looks like ads but I kill the window. Was able to get to dcp in between and now after a while but no idea if problem is solved so letting you know. I would guess a hack and don’t recommend clicking what the webpage says to click to close. Edited July 13, 2019 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I haven't seen the redirect/message - but one of our admins has and provided a couple of clues. I've reviewed our system and data and don't find evidence of our being compromised, so the most-likely source is a nasty Google Adsense advert ... which would also explain why some are receiving it and others don't. I've added the domain that was referenced in the clues we saw to the BLOCK list on Adsense (which takes a bit of time to be active). Hopefully that helps. As always, DO NOT click on pop-ups or pages that you are unfamiliar with. An Ad-Blocker or browser plugin can help in keeping your system safe. Thanks for the heads-up. -john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killing the window is safest last I heard. Thanks John just wanted to make sure you folks were aware Edited July 13, 2019 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
