Dangerous site warning in thread

Postby Aikoland » Wed Apr 08, 2020 6:22 am

Hey, so IDK if I should be reporting this here in technical or in moderation, but I clicked a link to the following thread: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=69947

And well, some URL on the page is considered dangerous because on Chrome, it just automatically redirects me to this page:

The basic translation is just:
Deceptive site!

Attackers on interiordesigningblog.com may try and trick you to do something dangerous such as installing software or revealing personal information (passwords, phone numbers, or credit cards).

Now, obviously, I can just bypass this page and go right to the thread, but maybe a mod or whatever wants to find whatever the hell on the page is linking to that interiordesigningblog site and remove it so that warning doesn't appear?

(Also the thread's been gravedug with an adspammer too so should probably be locked or something but YEAH)

I can replicate the issue on my device. Super weird. Perhaps there's an embed in the thread that makes the warning pop up?

EDIT: I think I'm probably right (or somewhere along the lines of right), because I went into the forum to see if I could find the thread itself, and clicking it there had the same effect, so it's not an issue with the link. However, going onto the second page (see below) acts as usual.

The adspammer has been nuked so ideally it is fixed now.

It was a link posted by an adbot. Deleted.

There was also a hotlinked image that went to that website on the first page. Removed hotlink. Always a good reminder to use dedicated image hosting sites like imgur and not hotlink.
