Spec: Sputnik Malware? | Sputnikmusic

Spec 11.14.14	Digs is list.
ResidentNihilist 11.14.14	ligs is dist
ResidentNihilist 11.14.14	and no to answer your question but I'm using firefox which probably means it's being downloaded without me knowing about it
Spec 11.14.14	Yeah I use Chrome.
ResidentNihilist 11.14.14	never used chrome, what's it like?
R0ffleMyWaffles 11.14.14	Oh whoa scary stuff.
Spec 11.14.14	It's speedy and super convenient to use. I've tried them all and it's my favourite.
MotokoKusanagi 11.14.14	yeah i'm getting the warning as well
JJOMan 11.14.14	Sputnik is shady stuff
Friday13th 11.14.14	yeah I'm getting it with chrome and windows
ResidentNihilist 11.14.14	cool will try it then. mx is probably a drug dealer tbh
MotokoKusanagi 11.14.14	it's not sputnik, the warning is saying that the website was injected with malware
Totengott 11.14.14	I got the same message, 5 rules anyway.
Totengott 11.14.14	Perhaps it could be those malware ads we were warned about? I don't see them anyway, because I use AdBlock.
Asdfp277 11.14.14	i haven't gotten a single message but i was redirected to some weird site, rip my pc \|\| edit: i also got adblock plus deactivated on sput so r.i.p. my pc
Avagantamos 11.14.14	I have adblock and I'm getting the warning
Pheromone 11.14.14	just jam the wrens it will all blow over
sonictheplumber 11.14.14	so should i log off
sonictheplumber 11.14.14	im on fuckfox and i got adblock and i didnt hear nothin. i dont have any sort of virus protection as it is so should i be shittin my pants?
Pheromone 11.14.14	same but firefox is the goat so dw just jam the wrens ye
Spec 11.14.14	Only if you have credit card info or a Facebook password up.
sonictheplumber 11.14.14	shit dude im always on fb are they readin my messages? :O
Asdfp277 11.14.14	they're probably inviting every single one of your friends to play farmville or something
bakkermaarten007 11.14.14	Yeah, it's true. My antivirus blocked several phishing attempts from vclass.htc.ac.th (malware distributor). Sputnik has been infected with it. Hope they get it fixed soon, 'cause stuff like this compromises sputnik's google score. Those of you with no antivirus software, you might want to check your passwords and run a scan.
bakkermaarten007 11.15.14	Trend Micro's Housecall is a good free up-to-date scanner btw. Only flaw is that it detects java RE as malware (probably 'cause of all its breaches in the past though, lol)
BMDrummer 11.15.14	maybe the coding errors with last.fm and the shoutbox have to do with this
Spec 11.15.14	I thought the last.fm thing was only happening to me so that's good.
bakkermaarten007 11.15.14	Seriously though, those without any sort of decent antivirus software should consider some decent scanner. These are all the alerts I get everytime I visit Sputnik now: http://nl.tinypic.com/r/2ekub6a/8
bakkermaarten007 11.15.14	The attacks are neverending lol. Kinda makes me feel powerful that they've all failed.
BMDrummer 11.15.14	my computer started scanning yesterday and hasn't found anything yet, but i'll see what happens
zaruyache 11.15.14	"Yeah, it's true. My antivirus blocked several phishing attempts from vclass.htc.ac.th (malware distributor)." got that message on one of our laptops via Chrome. We have AVG on it though so that's weird. Using my personal laptop now and it hasn't given me any message. Weird. And we have adblock on both compys.
bakkermaarten007 11.15.14	"my computer started scanning yesterday" Really? Mine finishes a full scan in half an hour
BMDrummer 11.15.14	it usually takes a few hours, sometimes it takes forever tho
JJOMan 11.15.14	On some website scanner it said that it was definitely infected with malware
bakkermaarten007 11.15.14	"got that message on one of our laptops via Chrome. We have AVG on it though so that's weird." Don't know which version you have but AVG is not really reliable anymore. I suggest to buy some other software, this list will help you out: http://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/windows-8/
RogueNine 11.15.14	I saw it too and decided to continue anyway. Hopefully it's not hurting me, haha.
Shuyin 11.15.14	fuck this, im out
ArsMoriendi 11.15.14	It's fine if I'm on my phone.
demigod! 11.15.14	i got the warning on chrome, but not firefox. fuck it
Dancedrewdance 11.15.14	You had one job jom
sonictheplumber 11.15.14	i blame dev
Spec 11.15.14	tanner weed gets his revenge
LowFatYogurt 11.15.14	yea i just started getting it today
glassg7 11.15.14	was getting this alert earlier from Chrome. seems fine now
JohnTheSavage 11.15.14	So the thing giving me the warning was the problem? How do I know if I got any malware? What were they trying to get me to click on?
zaruyache 11.15.14	seems to work for the moment. Immediately after posting my first comment I started getting the virus messages.
bakkermaarten007 11.15.14	The problem appears to be resolved.Sputnik's status safeguarded.
JohnTheSavage 11.15.14	Do we know what the malware was? How can I tell if I've gotten something?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 11.15.14	i got it yesterday but not anymore
JohnTheSavage 11.15.14	If the vclasswhatever ad was the malware, did I have to select download to get anything actually on my computer? I'm not getting the ads anymore either.
NeroCorleone80 11.15.14	If a site is infected simply visiting it can install the malware without you even knowing. There will always be some subtle sign of an infection though so keep an eye out for anything different like a slower performance etc. Just make sure you have a good antivirus and that you update it regularly and you'll be fine for the most part.
ChoccyPhilly 11.15.14	Only just got it when I went to click on the news
afoolonahill 11.15.14	get all kinds of weird pop up shit from this site
ChoccyPhilly 11.15.14	I get that when I'm on the iPad and it's anyone as fuck
Inveigh 11.15.14	i pay for norton antivirus, is that good enough? not up on which software is the best i guess
Spec 11.15.14	I think Norton is pretty reliable. Thats what I used to have.
Deviant. 11.15.14	"i blame dev" Yeah I probably would as well honestly. Just to get an update, because from the latest comments it seems as if the issue might be resolved (or in the process of being resolved (?)), are people still getting the various malware warnings right now?
MrSirLordGentleman 11.15.14	The warnings stopped for me
Mongi123 11.15.14	Nothing now Dev. I would guess that the last.fm coding thing is also apart of it but there's no warning now. Has Mx been tinkering with the site to fix it I assume?
Deviant. 11.15.14	Not that I'm aware of, but any tinkering wouldn't cause issues on this scale. Best guess at this point is that the site went through yet another hacking attempt. We had one about 2-3 weeks ago
Mongi123 11.15.14	Hmm ok. Seems to have calmed down though nonetheless.
Spec 11.15.14	The warning doesn't pop up anymore so excellent work whatever you guys did.
zaruyache 11.16.14	"get all kinds of weird pop up shit from this site" Using this website without adblock is a totally different experience.
JohnTheSavage 11.16.14	I'm getting it for the blog now ...
sonictheplumber 11.16.14	brave new diltch
zaruyache 11.16.14	just got the chrome message again from a random sput page. I think I'm done here for the night. Cheers.
SharkTooth 11.16.14	hey bakkermaarten, what do you think of Norton? "are people still getting the various malware warnings right now?" Norton Anti-Malware is usually silent on this kind of thing so...
Funeralopolis 11.16.14	I just got an 'attack page' warning from sputnikmusic just now, first time recieving it though. Happened when I look bandpage for 'runemagick' but doesn't seem to appear for anything else.
hikingmetalpunk 11.16.14	wrecked my comp, ate its innards
StallionMang 11.16.14	I primarily use Sput on my phone now but I haven't gotten a warning message yet (I use Chrome). Do get a shit ton of irritating pop-ups though
bakkermaarten007 11.16.14	"hey bakkermaarten, what do you think of Norton?" I'm not an expert on all things antivirus. I use Bitdefender which is pretty damn good. Kaspersky is also a 'hacker's scare' nowadays. Just use the link I pasted here before: http://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/windows-8/ The guys from the av-test lab are an authority on computer security. Also, the guys who got infected: scan your entire system and change your passwords! The malware attacks were with phishing goals in mind.
bakkermaarten007 11.16.14	Even better: while you're at it , set up two-step authentication for your services. Microsoft, Google and Facebook accounts all provide this utility. That way, you'll have to enter a security code provided on another device (like your phone) in conjunction with your normal password, when you try to log in from a non-trusted device.
InFlamesWeThrash666 11.16.14	Illuminati runs Sputnik,care
NeroCorleone80 11.16.14	Yeah I've never been a fan of Norton, I always had problems with it. Kaspersky is great and what I've been using for years.
ExplosiveOranges 11.16.14	I get the message for some reason when I try to go on Damien Rice's My Favorite Faded Fantasy page.
Ryus 11.16.14	smae
Mongi123 11.16.14	Yep same here
cliiint 11.16.14	on iphone it always sends me to the App Store to dl some shit but I always close out before reading what that way they don't win
JohnTheSavage 12.04.14	so this was a few weeks ago, anyone get phished, malware, etc.
MalleusMaleficarum 12.04.14	Sputnik Malleusware?
Relinquished 12.04.14	keyboardxmoshware
Asdfp277 12.05.14	the sputnik virus attacks seem to have ceased yay EDIT: and also, sputnik seems to be loading normally again yay!
Aftertheascension 12.05.14	go fuck yourself OP. fuck you and your mac.
Spec 12.05.14	Relax.
Frippertronics 12.05.14	ascension, you seem perturbed about Spec's use of a Macintosh computer? Did Stevie J. do something to you when you were a young buck?
Aftertheascension 12.05.14	yes
Frippertronics 12.06.14	nice
RedWinterwolf 12.22.14	The malware page just started to show when I click on certain band profile links. Anyone still get the warning?
BMDrummer 12.22.14	got it for the first time today
Snake. 12.22.14	got by clicking on this page
MuhNamesTyler 12.22.14	You guys watch too much weird porn
Gnome7 12.22.14	I got it today as well
Skoop 12.22.14	Yeah me 2 really fucking annoying
cliiint 12.22.14	what the hell sputnik http://imgur.com/rvVHkuB
JokineAugustus 12.22.14	Started again for me as well
reportingbird 12.22.14	Same here,tried to open a band page and the malware page showed up.
suppatime 12.22.14	samez
Titan 12.22.14	staff hitting you guys where it hurts since all the mockery of that 2014 list
ChoccyPhilly 12.23.14	Lol this thread apparently has malware
Trelose 12.23.14	Also getting it here. =/
zaruyache 12.23.14	started for me again too. wtf sputnik
Deviant. 12.23.14	What do you mean "wtf sputnik"? The site isn't purposefully uploading malware on its own. Someone hacked the blog again, and it's partially leaked over on to the review site. Jeremy (MX) is aware of it, and is doing his best to resolve the situation as we speak, which is tricky given that time of the year/obligations
Titan 12.23.14	why is the malware list from yesterday gone?
guitarded_chuck 12.23.14	yeah got the message on my mac
guitarded_chuck 12.23.14	NORTH KOREA
JokineAugustus 12.23.14	Thank god its not happening anymore.
Funeralopolis 12.23.14	I've been getting 'attack website' warnings a lot lately
wwf 12.23.14	Yeah I haven't had it happen for a little while now.
zaruyache 12.23.14	Why would anyone want to hack this site when it's not like any of its users have identities worth stealing.
KrazyKris 12.23.14	^the reason why I don't care for too much protection, really nothing to steal from me. And I guess it's the same with 95% of sputnikers
bakkermaarten007 12.24.14	So you don't ever shop online?
zaruyache 12.24.14	No he walks twelve blocks through the snow to the farmer's market. Like a real man.
KrazyKris 12.24.14	@bakkermaarten007 No, never. I pay for my website through PayPal cause there is no other way, but there's practically no money on it and I never use e-banking. And if I get screwed over, not much to get from me anyway
MuhNamesTyler 12.24.14	Someone hacked my xbox live and spent the remaining 13 bucks I had on my account. I mean when someone steals from you on that kind of a level idk, life just seems different
