Title: viacoin.org index page hacked?
Post by: Bimmerhead on August 06, 2014, 05:03:50 PM
The first time I landed on viacoin.org and Get Started I got a pop-up all in Russian that didn't look like it was associated with viacoin.  Anyone else get this?

The site is definitely ok.

I also get a Russian page, we need to tell this the Viacoin Developer

Edit: After using Google Translate and a few friends I found out that this is a Sex Page

I still cannot replicate this: you are welcome to look at the sourcecode here: https://github.com/viacoin/viacoin.org

There is another possibility - what you are describing is what often happens if your computer has been infected with malware / adware.

I had something similar years ago and it turned out to be malware / adware that bombarded me with adverts every time I used internet explorer.

Except it happens only at this site, and other people experience it only at this site as well?

(P.S. I'm running Ubuntu)
