What “CANCEL” button?

A follow up to yesterday post regarding new Malware attack. I received a phone call Friday morning about the same malware. It comes from different website but it definitely the same kind of malware.

Am I supposed to press the “CANCEL” button? Where is it?

Websites that have hacked .htaccess file redirects to:

  • centerdebuggerthreat.info
  • testingsolutionon-line.info

The fake Windows Antivirus 2012 is running within a web browser (Google Chrome, in this particular case) on a Windows 7, but showing Windows XP interface.

Another malware attack.

I received a call from a client regarding malware on his customer’s website. It redirects to http:// stecdon . ru/ and displays the fake “your computer has been infected” page that resembles a security software.

I have yet been able to contact the owner of the website regarding the malware.

I’ll post more details when I have it.

UPDATE:

The same infected site redirests to:

  • tropas dot ru
  • stecdon dot ru

About that beeping noise.

If you are a Verizon FiOS customer and happen to hear beeping noise that is not coming form your smoke detector alarm,check your FiOS battery backup.

First you could reset the battery backup unit by unplugging the power and disconnecting the battery. If the “Replace Battery” light still on, then call Verizon customer service or technical support.

Well, it’s just a bad WordPress installation.

This site went semi-offline earlier today thanks to a bad installation of WordPress.org nightly build. At first it seemed the WordPress install was having trouble connecting to the MySQL database. I really thought I had to restore the MySQL database from the backup.

I have decided to keep 37prime.news on the official release instead of living on the edge. Lesson learned.
