Topic: Beware random quickees

Hey all... just a PSA... malware code running about in the quickees redirecting you to some spam site. Advise avoiding them until Sol can resolve

Re: Beware random quickees

You don't even have to open the quickie; just try to see the list.

There is a place in Hell reserved for these people.

Re: Beware random quickees

Thanks for the warning. I would have opened it!

Re: Beware random quickees

Yes I received that also

Re: Beware random quickees

Seems to originate from new user Nyx whose profile page is littered with code possibly seeking vulnerabilities

Re: Beware random quickees

I figured I wasn't alone when I saw this. Luckily I use an iPad , so should be safe. Hope Sol can get it resolved soon and put in better protections.

Re: Beware random quickees

Looks like Nyx has also hijacked several of the new author profiles as well.

Re: Beware random quickees

Hi, we're aware of it and are fixing the problem. There is a small vulnerability on the site that someone is exploiting. We should have it fixed and cleaned up shortly.

Re: Beware random quickees

Glad I read this thread as I was going to respond to Nyx and welcome them to the site. Many thanks to alL!

Re: Beware random quickees

It seems to be solved. I had a quickee but read this thread and I didn't dare viewing it. Now the quickee has disappeared from my list.

Kiss,

Gacela

Re: Beware random quickees

I didn't see this thread until after receiving the email connection request. Luckily, "Nyx" was gone before I clicked the link.

Re: Beware random quickees

It has been resolved.

Re: Beware random quickees

Fine, quick work! Some of this stuff can be daunting and troublesome. I see you also deleted the suspicious-looking group.

Thanks for your attentiveness.

Re: Beware random quickees

Nice work, Sol.

Re: Beware random quickees

Great work, Sol. I guess I missed this whole kerfuffle, but am glad the side of law and order won.

Re: Beware random quickees

Thanks, Sol!

Re: Beware random quickees

Thanks Sol. Just wondering if my acct is okay as I opened the quickee before the warning came out.

Re: Beware random quickees

Your account and all accounts are fine.

Re: Beware random quickees

Thanks Sol
