NOTE: Clicked on Trainz site, and got a "Reported as hacker site" notice

Need help ASAP please.
About 30 minutes a go or so, I clicked on the Trainz Forum site linked (using Firefox) but when I did I got this big huge notice saying "THIS SITE REPORTED AS A HACKER SITE" or similar wording, and with a similar background colour to this Trainz forum site.

Would anyone care to explain what that was about please.

Not sure if it was the same issue... but I was getting a "page not found" error a little while ago. (IE 7)

 

[Red_Rattler]

Did the Trainz site(s) get hacked?

Yes well after this, I also got a page error.

Wonder what's going on.

Hard to say, I've had quite a bit of trouble getting the forum to load in the past 1/2 hour. Something's up.

 

[Red_Rattler]

I will say that it happened sometime between clicking on the International Movie Database website and then clicking on this site.

I tried to get on 4 times about 7:30 to 8:00 PM PST, gave up and just now got on. 8:35PST

I was having some trouble too. I'd guess somebody thought it'd be funny to report this is as a hacker sight and the site was shut down temporarily while things were sorted out.

 

[Red_Rattler]

Bigboy does that mean that you got the same message as me?

And if some idiots (I'd rather really a stronger word) think that was funny (if it did happen) then that wasn't funny. (

Me too. Seems that every night around 6:00 to 9:00 it acts up. I think too many people are on between those hours and it screws up.

I had similar problems from about 2.00am till 7.30am GMT message I got was "Connection to AURAN. forums, server is not responding" Could this have something to do with forum repairs??

I noticed for a short period Google was showing up any website as potential dangerous, Even proper legit sites like BBC :S.

Even if the site was reported to Firefox, Microsoft or Google as a potentially dangerous site, all those programs/sites will do is warn you. Not block you from accessing it.

 

[PerRock]

firefox will sort of block you. you get a screen which has an option at the bottom for you to continue anyways. However I use FF and all that would happen is that the connection would timeout. The other possibility is that it was reported to the host; which can shut you out.

Google had a temporary problem earlier which meant a number of sites got flagged as dangerous. Details on news.bbc.co.uk
