Bleck Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Google Chrome has stopped me twice from accessing OCR pages because it's connected to a 'known malware distributor', zirconstudios.com. zircon, maybe take a look around at this? If anyone else had or has this happen to them, post here about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerrax Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I've gotten this a few times as well. I'm also using Google Chrome. I'm sure zircon knows how to deal with this, but I'll just add that I had this happen to my site. The .htaccess file had a bunch of redirects to malware sites added to it. Deleting the file causes the server to make a new one that is clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I saw something in it the other day, but I know his site has been hacked/attacked before and I thought Google still thought it was doing that or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 FireFox does the same thing, but only if I try to go directly to zirconstudios.com. OCR is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emunator Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 It's probably giving a malware warning because the beats on his site are so siiick. ... I'll be leaving now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Same problem using Safari. Just reporting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Confirmed on my comp - getting the same signal. I'm using Chrome, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygecko Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 It was some security loophole that was already addressed a while ago, but Google has yet to unlist the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Really really sorry about this, guys. It's been a giant thorn in my side for weeks now. What happened was that MONTHS ago, a single plugin I was using to resize thumbnails had an exploit that some asshole used to put malicious PHP on my site. I immediately fixed the exploit and deleted all the PHP, or at least I thought I did. The problem was that each PHP file had its own backdoor, so the same hacker(s) could keep going in and putting more redirecting crap all over. Since my webhost (Lunarpage) was useless in helping me with this, a week ago I completely changed hosts, reinstalled everything from scratch and completely cleaned everything out to make sure that not a single file from the old site made it on to the new one without being thoroughly checked. So, there's no way any of the old malware made it on, since everything on zirconmusic.com now is fresh + reinstalled from remote servers or my computer, not simply copied over from the infected site. I submitted the domain, along with zirconstudios.com (which is just a redirct) to Google to be removed from the blacklist. Hopefully they'll do that ASAP. tl;dr - There isn't any malware on my site now, and as soon as Google reviews my request to have it rechecked, the warning message will disappear. I'm really, really sorry for the inconvenience. Moral of the story - update your plugins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Covenant Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 What happened was that MONTHS ago, a single plugin I was using to resize thumbnails had an exploit that some asshole used to put malicious PHP on my site. Let me guess, timthumb? That plugin is notoriously insecure. Best to use a different plugin or the completely rewritten version. Also, I've built/managed a number of wordpress sites in the past so I know a thing or two about it. If you need any help on things like this, feel free to ask.

Mirby Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I'm guessing Google reviewed your request? When the message was appearing, it was always when entering a page zirc posted on. Since I can enter this thread safely, I'm guessing the issue has been resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
