DL. Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Still being hi-jacked to URL4SHORT.INFO. At work, because I can't save favourites on their computer, I put UKvarminting into a search engine, and click on the page when it comes up in the results. It's then that the above site takes over, and on clicking 'back' the page gets taken to UKV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonl Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Any clean PC, reaching the site from a google search, hits UKV then is instantly redirected to the URL4SHORT.INFO site, which appears to contain malware. It is a problem with UKV, although can be rectified by fiddlign with browsers etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brown dog Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 This is bizarre. I've not seen this hijack at all. For example, I've been on the site today from 5 different computers (2 mine, 3 'virgin') not once have I seen the hijack... I'm thoroughly confused/bemused. I'll drop the site software chaps a line........but I've still not seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same result from each. Quick Google of UL4SHORT.INFO suggests other forums have suffered from it too (wireshark traces etc showing what's happening). Why a redirect from Google should behave differently, or what's different with the URL I don't know, but I would expect Google's rating of the site to decline without resolution.

Believe the URL4SHORT.INFO breach has been fixed - grateful if members would confirm that they are no longer seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
