Phishing Web site - VMK Forums - Virtual Magic Kingdom Online Community, Forums & Fansite

Since the whole..nine months I've been on vmkf I've never had those little warnings on your screen saying the site is dangerous. Well all of sudden today they keep popping up every time I go on a new page on vmkf. This is what it says:

Quote:

the web site you wish to open shows signs of involvement in "phishing", a scam in wich a criminal's web site masquarades as a legitmate commercial site to obtain your credit card number or other personal information for nefarious purposes.

Any ideas why it's suddenly popping up, I know I can have my dad when he get's home make it so it doesn't pop up when I go on vmkf,but still I am just curious.

Hmm.. I've never had that, so idk. But, now all of a sudden, I would get a TON of pop-ups for like, the MLB or something. Idk..

That has never happened to me, but it seems weird that it happens all of a sudden.

I know, why all of a sudden...that's really weird...

It hasn't ever happened to me either.

Weird, I honestly don't believe that this site offers any dangerous threats. You should pm a mod with the info.

Yup, i am gettin millions of them, and they are blocking the ads. It is telling me to block VMKF and dont repoen it.
EDIT:
On EVERY site of Nick's, I am gettin this message.

Maybe an update caused this?

No clue about that one. I'm on it 24/7. Our channels are monitored by the vmkf mod and mods from Nick's other sites. So they are pretty safe.

Weird... I've never been getting anything o_o

That's what I was getting yesterday, for some reason today it stopped. Strange huh?

Oh, thanks for letting me know, I'm not part of the club penguin fansite so I was unaware. I was just letting you guys know just in case it caused a problem.

xigbar · #13 08-21-2008, 09:19 PM

Oh gosh. I'm getting these too. OH! And, if I can't get on Live Chat, who do I ask for help?

xoop · #14 08-27-2008, 10:44 PM

All I get when I enter chat is some warning like about security and some person claims it's safe so I say "O.K." and yeah @_@

gabyta · #15 08-30-2008, 07:47 PM
