Kaya Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 I noticed a new cookie warning at the MD homepage and while in itself that is not a bad thing, the specific script used for this is said to contain malisious code. https://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/cookie-consent.org?utm_source=addon&utm_content=rw-viewsc https://www.ohow.co/what-is-eu-cookie-law-enforcement-xyz-info-google-analytics/ I can't find any real details about the actual malicious part of the code, but copying JavaScript from a self proclaimed 'official' site with a fake adress (whois) might not be the best idea regardless.

Kaya Posted July 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) A followup and a major bump: On my phone (android, dolphin browser) the code gives a pop-up telling me my browser is infected and I need to download a cleaner of sorts, which I haven't tried, but, with a near 100% certainty, must be a virus. EDIT: They show the message on normal Chrome as well, though only once, so you might have to clear coockies/use private browsing to see it.

AmberRune Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I am bad at the internet but I clicked the install button and it sent me to the chrome webstore with add-on type things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaya Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 So I noticed, you still shouldn't install it though (and if you did uninstall it immediately.) Google is known for not having the best quality control regarding what does or does not end up in their app store and there definitely is something wrong with what they're trying to do.

Ungod Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 I had it too and actually installed that extension then I removed it..google scam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Chewett Posted July 23, 2016 Root Admin Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 I think users who had issues had it cached somewhere, according to Mur he removed it pretty quickly. If anyone sees this give me a shout (please email or forum PM me) as IMO this is highly important, we dont want to be giving our users viruses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
