Attacked by a phishing  Empty Attacked by a phishing

Post by Lummy Sun Jul 25, 2021 11:08 am

For the last couple days, I've been getting a warning screen about an aborted connection to 2img.net because it is infected with "URL:Phishing", and this seems to be related to a problem with my posts coming up with double titles. I see the same double title issue occurring for others here too. I have set my browser to block or not open 2img.net, but this warning screen about the Phishing threat keeps coming up. Not sure what to do about it at this point. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

As far as I've seen so far, the issue only occurs here and not on any other site.

Haven't had any of those problems, Lummy. I asked around and no else seems to be experiencing it.
Have you tried clearing the cache?
Another thing you can try after a while is, "clear forum cookies". It will greatly improve your speed if you find you are running slow.
You'll find it on the home page in small print at the bottom of the last forum listing.

Keep me informed and thank you.

I haven't seen any double titles. Leads me to believe it's prolly on your end.
If anyone else is seeing double titles, please let me know..

Once again, thanks.

Try deleting forum cookies, first.
If No luck, try deleting history and cookies on your device.
It would not hurt to check cookie settings and allow or disallow to your personal liking.

Sometimes blocking all cookies will cause websites not to function properly.
