No problems here (home).

I've had problems this morning. chrome, W7, sky.
Does anyone fall for these scams?.

It's not down to your computer, operating system or web browser. I was seeing it yesterday and this morning at home, but not today from work.

It's either the server or the dns which has been hijacked.

I've just had it happen to me on my iPhone, c**ts, can't we trace them and really spoil their looks?

Happened this morning on the phone, was worried I'd broken it somehow

It looks like a DNS spoofing attack to me.

This is what I saw when telnetting to forums.sv650.org whilst it was happening:

Code:

% telnet forums.sv650.org 80
Trying 78.159.101.217...
Connected to forums.sv650.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.0

However, now it's OK again and when I ping forums.sv650.org I see:

Code:

% ping forums.sv650.org
PING forums.sv650.org (64.131.76.170): 56 data bytes

Notice that the ip address for the real Org is 64.131.76.170, but the server which is redirecting people to the scammers site is 78.159.101.217

so what's making the DNS redirect sporadic rather than permanent?

Many other sites are being affected. https://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&gs_n...w=1440&bih=785

Sadly that didn't help:

These pr*cks should have their heads kicked in, there must be some way someone could plausibly find out where they live?
