    Default FYI - Forum Security Warning

    When I tried to access the forum today, I was presented with the following warning page. See below(Reported Attack Page)


    After clicking on the "Why was this page blocked" button, I got the following page. See link below.
    Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page for cnczone.com/forums

    So I accessed the forum from a virtual machine to post this information, for those who may have different security settings in there browser.

    These statistics are appalling. 19.4% of the 759 forum pages try to download and install malware, that's 1 out of every 5 pages.

    In my mind what is even worse is the following graphic that appears, falsely assuring us that everything is OK. See below (sucuri-verified-badge)
    Obviously this software is ineffective!!!


    So that there is no confusion here.

    I enjoy CNC-Zone, I want it to be around forever.
    I am not implying that this is intentional cnczone practice or policy, unfortunately we interact in a very shady virtual world.
    I do not envy the site administrator, given the job he has ahead of him, but I do wish him all my best in his efforts to clean this up.

    I will not be returning to the Zone, until my security settings allow it.

    So long for now and be safe in the virtual world.

    PS.
    These warnings were presented using Firefox with default settings.
    IE8 with default settings gave no warnings!!!
