Serious BriarPatch warning!!!!

Just cleaned out all cache and history in my browsers and the spoof that was running in the background has been removed.



PS
I also suggest you reboot your PC, Mac or mobile device you were using. 

I’m surprised that most members don’t seem to be worried about what occurred. I traced th IP address back to a small Chinese Province.

The screen shot above will only pop up on my security software on my server if one of my backdoor ports is being attempted to be hacked. As you can see in the screenshot I was on this website when the spoof occurred.

I run a triple trap on the phones and computers. Not much can get through.

     This was more than getting the sites certificate, this was an actual spoof. The security program I run will pick up an incoming IP address and if the client IP address pings for over 16 seconds I also get a copy of the devices MAC address. You can always change your IP address, the only way to change the MAC address is by changing the motherboard or logic board of the hardware that was being used at the time of the spoofing/hacking. 

   I’ve seen the Russians and Chinese break through a Watchguard Firebox. Takes time and a high skill level but it’s been done, kind of scary what goes on that most don’t realize. 

They would have to be motivated. I was IT director for a large payroll company before my retirement. Finally got a system in place that allowed me to sleep at night just be I retired. We're talking about over a million SS#s, bank accounts, etc. Also the main company account averaged 2.5 billion in the sweep accounts. Yeah, I know about that stuff.

       This was a backdoor issue that Firefox would not have picked up on, even though it’s one of my favorite browsers. I often use Tor browser and have the ability to bounce my IP address. 

     For spoofing or spam and too gather personal or general information. 

    LL, it’s a BIG money making business. Banks lose MILLIONS annually as do big corporations. 

   Also at times it’s done too also see how vulnerable a particular website can be, at times malicious others not so much.

Just received this from our hosting provider:

This error message was a direct result of side-effects of a code push we performed yesterday. There was a very brief window yesterday where users may have received that error due to an update we pushed relating to security certificates. They were temporarily revoked during that window but were reinstated immediately after the completion of the code push.

The SSL certificate you have installed alongside your domain name ensures that any information your users send or receive from the forum is private. On our end we have several monitoring systems in place to ensure that the data we store stays private and protected, as well as our systems team which actively monitors traffic to ensure that no malicious attempts to access the backend of our service are being performed.

Well,,,,,Now I got a headache !
 

Thanks for the clarification.
