ads appearing with timeline #442

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Open up the site on my server where I uploaded the timeline:
www.ahcoc.info/time/timeline.htm

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

-Timeline itself, with no pop-up ads or additional windows.
-Timeline opens but a bunch of ads with pop-up windows load as well.

What version of the product are you using? On what browser and what
operating system?

-2.3.0 timeline
-Internet Explorer 8.0
-Windows XP pro

Please provide any additional information below.

I've double checked the code against examples but it still keeps opening ads.  
Opening it locally on my laptop no ads appear.  And ads don't normally appear 
anywhere else on my site.  Please help if anyone has a solution or has 
experienced this as well.

Hi, 

The problem is that your server appears to have been hacked in a subtle way. 
There is no problem with the Timeline libraries. However, I recommend that you 
use the current version of the library, 2.3.1. It is available here:
http://www.simile-widgets.org/timeline/

There are also live client examples of the library, see
http://www.simile-widgets.org/timeline/examples/monet/monet.html

More about your hacked server:
When the Timeline library requests the "history" file, /time/__history__?0, 
your server responds with a 404 error reply. Not having the __history__ file is 
fine. 

However, the 404 reply from your web server includes an iframe full of spam.

Below is the content of the 404 reply from your server. As a test, I copied 
your source file and xml file to my server and did not get any spam.

SOLUTION: 
Your server was hacked and the 404 error pages were changed.
At this point you should probably suspect everything on your server and 
completely rebuild it.....

Your server's 404 reply is below. Note the iframe. It is pulling in the spam.
