Just out of curiosity, nothing more, why weren't character attacks on coaches "out of bounds" during the Rich Rod era? Was the website not as well moderated or was it just cool because most people felt that way about RR?

1 year 48 weeks ago	There's always the	There's always the possibility of getting infected anywhere you go on the internet. That's why you see posts of people saying "I'm running McAfee but I still got hit with adware and had to reboot in safe mode." The beauty about computers is that for every rule there is, there's 30 ways to break them. I feel relatively safe running these addons that block javascript because that's how a lot of malware is transfered but things can still happen. I'm never comfortable with 100% on anything. The best thing you can do is make sure all of your antivirus software is up to date with the latest definitions, disable javascript in your browser unless you're at a "trusted" site that HAS to use it to function (youtube, facebook, etc.), and read EVERYTHING before you click yes or no on a popup message. If it's something you're not expecting and you've never seen it before, don't click on it. Especially don't click on it if it's a pop-up that says "OMG YOU'VE BEEN INFECTED LOL! CLICK HERE FOR FIXES!" because that's the malware popping that up. EDIT: Brian says later in the page that it's an iframe exploit. For those unfamiliar, This is a fairly good article, although slightly outdated, and is most-likely what's happening, or a similar version of that type of attack. He mentioned that it was targeting a portion of the site's CSS (the styles that control what the font is, the background color, the way the buttons look, etc.) which I had no idea could be done but I trust he knows what he's doing. I wish I lived back up in Michigan so I could help him with some of this stuff. I design and build web-aps for a living but I've never worked with an infected site before. I think it would be very interesting to dissect what code is running.
1 year 48 weeks ago	No sarcasm or condescension	No sarcasm or condescension intended, if a malicious script was found in MGB code doesn't mean that it's not caused by the adds. As mentioned above, PHP is extremely vulnerable and especially so to a form of attack called cross-site scripting. Cross-Site Scripting attacks are a type of injection problem, in which malicious scripts are injected into the otherwise benign and trusted web sites. Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks occur when an attacker uses a web application to send malicious code, generally in the form of a browser side script, to a different end user. Flaws that allow these attacks to succeed are quite widespread and occur anywhere a web application uses input from a user in the output it generates without validating or encoding it. An attacker can use XSS to send a malicious script to an unsuspecting user. The end user’s browser has no way to know that the script should not be trusted, and will execute the script. Because it thinks the script came from a trusted source, the malicious script can access any cookies, session tokens, or other sensitive information retained by your browser and used with that site. These scripts can even rewrite the content of the HTML page.. https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Cross-site_Scripting_(XSS) Those kinds of injections could, theoretically, be embedded in an advertisement, ran at the page level, and executed whenever a transaction happens between the client and server. It would be a really out of the way method of compromising a site but you could hit multiple sites simultaneously without the end-user knowing anything about it until it's too late. Without going into much more detail because, unless you're a computer geek, it's all french anyway there's a hundred different ways you could compromise a weakly secured site or network with just a couple of lines of code embedded into an advertisement. The reason Brian is asking everyone to use adblock or a similar client is because he either suspects the vulnerability is through the ads or because the malware is being transmitted via javascript. Adblock will help you prevent against both of them although that doesn't guarantee anything.
