• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

On the following thread - [H]ard|Forum > Real Life Stuff > General Mayhem > Cars/Motor Vehicles> When bad things happen to defenseless cars

I get the following error when going to page '18'

'hardforum.com contains content from fastgeek.net, a site known to distribute malware. Your computer might catch a virus if you visit this site.
Google has found malicious software may be installed onto your computer if you proceed. If you've visited this site in the past or you trust this site, it's possible that it has just recently been compromised by a hacker. You should not proceed, and perhaps try again tomorrow or go somewhere else.
We have already notified fastgeek.net that we found malware on the site. For more about the problems found on fastgeek.net, visit the Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page.'

Im using Chrome 17.0.963.79 on a Win XP machine.

Thought you should know, if you dont already.
 
It's coming from the image host someone used when they posted a photo. There's very likely zero danger to anyone browsing the thread but chrome will flag it because the hosting site contains malware (most likely not intentionally since this is a members private domain).

I've identified the specific posts and notified the individuals who can moderate in that area. I'm sure they'll remove it as soon as they get my message. Thanks for the heads up.
 
Yeah, we usually get this from domains linked in posts. I will fix it.
 
Censored the offending domain that was being used to host images from.
