snorby.org is serving annoyware / possible malware #421

Closed sbromberger closed 8 years ago

Hi,

Not sure where to report this, but it appears that www[dot]snorby[dot]org is being redirected alternately to a parking page and a page that loads continuous popups with messages that suggest the computer has been infected.

Screenshot from Firefox below (note redirect URL).

(the reason I posted this is because www[dot]snorby[dot]org is referenced in the #snorby Freenode IRC channel, which is itself referenced as a support resource in README. Nobody from the IRC channel has been active in the past couple of days.) It's also referenced by the wiki.

See also #391.

Where are you seeing references to snorby.org in the code?

sbromberger commented 8 years ago

@gehrhorn README.md references the wiki and the IRC channel. The wiki, in turn, has references to the "official website" and the IRC channel (https://github.com/Snorby/snorby/wiki). It's also hyperlinked in the wiki footer.

@sbromberger I changed it on the wiki. Trying to figure out how to become a channel op on the IRC channel to change the topic.

Thanks. I think that takes care of the most pressing issue. It's a shame that the domain got poached.
