Some sort of hack?

[Evanora]

I didn't know where to post this but I've been getting really strange messages from Habbox.. about foreign websites where I'm urged to click a link. Anyone else having this?

[myles]

my habboxforum keeps crashing and telling me to kill pages on chrome. its stopped for a bit now i hope it dnt start again

[sex]

i've gotten malware notices on a few pages

[xxMATTGxx]

I really need you to be more specific. I need the full URL you are accessing before it gives you these messages as I have a feeling it most likely be someones signature.

[myles]

alright lemme have a click around

I got mine on the index page
http://www.habboxforum.com/

[Evanora]

I had a popup on the index page

[JaiHo]

I don't think it's someone's signature as I got it on the support thread that only I had posted in, I think it might be one of the adverts?

It hasn't happened in a while, before it was happening continuously

[myles]

im sure mine must have happened on the index, im not sure im looking thru many threads and it seems to have stopped. ill let u know if anything else happens for me

[xxMATTGxx]

Which Anti-Viruses are you all using then? I'm aware of AVG being used by one specific user.

[myles]

god knows... this my dads comp i dnt rli pay attention to it

[Sho]

Sometimes when I click a page on the forum it opens up another page and starts downloading an anti-virus thing onto my laptop. I used to have AdBlock on to stop this from happening but I can't use that anymore :P.

[Evanora]

not sure if i even have an antivirus, same as myles this is my mums old laptop

According to AVG Site Checker:

And also the following report:

There is no detection of any viruses on the forum. It sounds like it was a bad advert - Has it happened since me posting?

Check your desktop do you have Norton? AVG? Mcafee? Webroot?

[myles]

i dont think this computer has one lmfao is tht bad

[JaiHo]

No it hasn't happened in the last 30 minutes, when it was happening it occurred about 10-15 times each time it was when I was browsing the forums, not a specific thread lot's of different ones and this was the message I got from my anti virus

I installed AVG on a virtual machine and went on HabboxForum using IE like your screenshot and have not seen any warnings whatsoever so far. Looks like it was a bad advert more than anything on the actual HabboxForum website. If it happens again then please do let us know and take screenshots of the page you are on and what it takes you to.

[myles]

im not good at technical stuff on computers all i cando is sign on then type habbo.com and log in amd play and also download music

I would take a pic but once it happens it does so quickly so that pops up and takes me away from the page immediately and then it closes the page automatically so I can't really screenie the page I came from if that makes sense. It still hasn't happened again though so hopefully it was just a bad advert

[Yawn]

im v scared

[scottish]

I have AdBlock and got nothing.

[Kardan]

I had that window pop up and AVG caught it as well, was a few hours back though, and had nothing since.

BitDefender and Websense ThreatSeeker report HxF as Phishing site lol

[Recursion]

As Matt said, seems fine to me too.

What adverts are you guys seeing?

Hah thank god it wasn't just me then :P

None now! which is a bit odd

[Rachel]

It could be an advert which this could be a possibility.
Also could be someone's signature on the forum but this is less likely to happen.
Also songs that you download or games from files can put you at risk of getting viruses and thinks the forum has a virus or something. Always be careful in what you download anyways. This problem hasn't occurred to me yet but will let you know if it happens to me.

[JaiHo]

Thanks to the person that gave me a -1 rep and said "I don't like you" insightful

Why does the virustotal website have things in like Russian or whatever? S:

[scottish]

because you've not clicked 'English' for the language

You can change the language on the site at the top.

[sex]

oh jesus ive been hacked all my furni is gone!
screw you habbox

[LiquidLuck.]

Oh, fair enough, was just weird because some things were still in English. Nvm then but I do have random new pages opening as well from time to time, but it's mainly because of my computer, Habbox has never given me problems with that.

[The Don]

So was this just a rogue ad then?

[xxMATTGxx]

Yep, nothing else to it.

[JaiHo]
