This Connection is Untrusted?

[Mt. Gox]

Did anybody else get this error message for a few minutes while trying to load Bitcointalk.org?



What is Cash-generation.com? (The site doesn't load for me) And what does it have got to do with Bitcointalk? Did we just get hacked?

No, I didn't get anything. Something may have installed a rouge certificate. Check your computer for any adware, also look through your installed certificates and look for anything suspicious.

My connection is as usual smooth! Just check the URL is exactly the same as bitcointalk.org. I think there is no problem, just ignore the pop up window!

I got a bit different type of error a few minutes back.
I got a red page when I was about to open my profile page and it said - SSL Certificate is not verified and something like that. I thought my account was getting hacked. But after 5 minutes it was all fine and I changed my password to be safe.
Or is someone hacking bitcointalk? :O Lol don't think so

I did a check on the domain name (cash-generation.com) and it appears to be unregistered. I checked the balances of my Bitcoin wallets and all my coins are there. Very strange. I'm using a shared wifi connection so perhaps there is something wrong with the router...

Hmm... It wasn't a popup window. The whole site just looked like that for a while.

That's weird, why would the domain be unregistered? I'm going to assume that the problem is going to be on your side, did you go through your installed certificates?

Hmm... So it seems that I'm not the only one who had a similar problem then.

It does look like it's running normally now, and so far no one else other than us have been affected. According to the Wayback Machine and Google, Cash-generation.com used to be connected to HYIPs and once hosted a Russian site.

There should have been a "see further details" type option which might have showed the domain name. I wonder if it was the same one.

I've been on for most of the night.   No issues here.

You might try a different computer at your place to see if it's that computer, or bigger.

I'm running on a newly installed version of Windows with a newly installed version of Portable Firefox so I doubt it's my computer that's at fault. Could it be related to my router? I'm browsing on a shared wifi connection with about 12 other computers in the network.

Definitely won't be your router, there's a possibility that something may have crawled on from the other computers onto yours. Download trusteer rapport.  It helps a lot. It's encrypts all your data on wev pages you browse https://www.trusteer.com/ProtectYourMoney

The problem is gone now so it's not possible to test it anymore. It looks like only me and one other person had the same issue and most people weren't affected. Unless someone else steps up and says that they were also affected, I'll probably just lock this thread.

Looks interesting. I already have most of my BTC in a cold storage wallet and all my bank accounts use third party authentication so it's probably not necessary for me at this stage.

EDIT: Wait, what is this?

The EULA[34] (Paragraph #2) allows IBM to take files from the machine that it is installed on. You authorize personnel of IBM, as Your Sponsoring Enterprise's data processor, to use the Program remotely to collect any files or other information from your computer ... Some consider this a violation of security and privacy.

So they (IBM) can see and take any files which happen to be stored in my computer's hard drive?

Since nobody else other than Operatr has experienced the same issue I had and it seems to have been a one-off type thing, I'm locking this thread. Thanks for the responses everyone!
