Z8Games is attacking viewers?
I was in the winning screenshots thread, then i clicked on user CP and this came up:
So I clicked on the "why was this page blocked?" Button, and it brought me to this page:
Any inside knowledge on why google has a history of z8games being a malicious site would be good to know.
I'm thinking it might have been because of this, but I'm not sure:

I think google tracks all sites in this regard, however as it clearly states, it was only today that it found malicious activity.
I'll have a look into it and inform the staff asap about the issue regardless and have them run a sweep. Don't want the same issue arising twice. -

Today is the 18th, it actually found malicious content yesterday (the 17th) as it clearly states :rolleyes: -

My apologies, been a day behind as it was a long weekend for me.
Questions however;
-are you still getting this issue?
-do you have any sort of adblocker?
want to be able to reproduce this as easily as possible to send in a report. -

Well Google has them listed as a malicious site now so that's a serious false positive.[MOD]Talonblaze wrote: »My apologies, been a day behind as it was a long weekend for me.

Only got the issue once.
Yes, I'm using adblock plus for firefox -
Here is a site that lets you check Google's listing for any site.

Z8Games isn't exactly stellar but perhaps not too bad.

Will keep this in mind, however the fact it only occurred once will make it very hard to track unless more cases come up since there's no way to reproduce it as this time.
I'll still let the staff be aware of such, but if you haven't done so already run a scan.
Thanks for the heads up. -

hmm gods whys it tell me from his link that the last malicious software found was on 21/12/2011 ? (I think that was when that ad was causing problems?) -

Judging by the counter evidence, I can only assume something redirected Gods to a different page by that IP. I doubt Google would get the two mixed up, so I can only assume they are indeed two different sites.
According to the IP database, the IP Gods visited is located somewhere in the UK.
https://ipdb.at/ip/88.214.193.251
Z8Games is hosted in Canada.
https://ipdb.at/ip/74.200.6.197
(IP of the actual site)
So, something odd happened there. -
The link that Gods posted heavily implies redirection(or click) from an advertisement and therefore would not expected to be on the same IP as any G4Box/Z8Games server. The difference in IPs is not surprising.
Odd, all I did was click on User CP

Javascript is often used in adds, and it is simple enough to redirect to another site or include any other site, really that can be done in simple html, which is one reason that most sites use large ad networks like AdSense to handle their ads. They trust Google in this case to filter out possibly unwanted ads, but of course people are always coming up with new ways of getting around filters.GodsGunman wrote: »Odd, all I did was click on User CP -

1) The virus thing that popped up
2) The clan page
3) GrooveShark
I was on the first tab when it happened, it had nothing to do with the other 2 tabs.
strange then.
The only info I can find on that IP address is -
Country: United Kingdom
ISP: "Hosting Solutions"
Organization: "Hqhost dedicated block" -

As mentioned by corkin, it was likely a redirect script.
This method has been spreading around a number of sites for quite some time without warning. Places like DeviantArt have been rampant with it for quite a bit, though Adblocks usually stifle those ones.
Likely Gods when he entered the User CP a specific Ad caused such. I'll be talking to the staff tomorrow about hopefully reviewing their Ad system first before going to any other conclusions. -
