Warning! The ASCnet site maybe infected with a Virus.

Right.  I just wgot it a few minutes ago and looked at it just to see what it was.  I assume it's been cleaned/replaced already.

I assume it's been cleaned/replaced already.

ah, yeah, that's true...

I noticed last week same thing.  AV stopped it cold but popped up visiting community.    Ironic I just mentioned this possibility but java not java script and if board could infect members.   

[Bloody Jack Kidd]

I am curious if it really was bad js and if so, how did it get there. It opens up some pretty scary scenarios.

Right.  Was the server compromised and that script edited to obtain malware from somewhere, or what happened?

I know that ASCnet.org uses ColdFusion and there have been exploits for that in the past.  Not familiar with ColdFusion so idk how to tell if it's up to date or not.  Also, the Community and the website are not hosted at the same location.  Socious hosts out of Kansas City and ascnet.org looks to be in Washington DC.

So, www.ascnet.org running ColdFusion does not directly affect community.ascnet.org running Socious.

[Bloody Jack Kidd]

ah, so it was the coldfusion site?

that would not be surprising then - I had looked at that in the past and thought to myself - "oh boy, it's just a matter of time..."

HAHAHAHA.  Yep.

So it's safe to go to ascnet.org now? 

Also, I received email yesterday from one of the ascnet employees regarding an upcoming chapter meeting.  I have not opened it, having read the warning here first.  Do you think I should ask for the email to be resent or would email from ascnet.org yesterday before the problem was fixed be ok to open?  I know there are attachments but they would be pdf's as they are handouts.

[Mark]

I wouldn't expect the email to be infected if it were me..

[Bob]

Appears to be ok now.  I'm not getting any alerts like I did last Friday.

[DebAmstutz]

I'm getting a "This website has experienced an unexpected error" message just now when I tried to go there.  Perhaps there is a bigger problem?

[Bloody Jack Kidd]

not looking good...

...and the error is leaking info you don't want to be leaked, like file structure and user accounts.

[Mark]

Awesome.

[Ric]

guess it was a good day to be off Monday and have been playing catch up ever since.  Still have not gotten caught up.  is the ASCnet site clean yet?

[Bloody Jack Kidd]

Can't tell if it's clean, apparently it is broken to some degree.
