Title: Asking for login and pass
Post by: sumantso on November 09, 2014, 02:03:32 pm
Why is it that some topics and boards are bringing up a pop up window asking for some login and password? I hope this site is not infected or anything like that.

Can you please send us a list of topics which prompt you to input your login credentials?

On what action did the phishing prompt appear? Just by opening the thread, when you clicked on an image, or something else?
Does the prompt still appear for you?

The prompt appeared even just opening a thread with the image exploit in it. So no actions or clicking on images required.

Happened on that particular user's topic, and PTS board. At that point I stopped using the forum.

I haven't inputted anything (obviously), can BM confirm that there nothing else to it? Probably not but I am still running a scan (though if there was something I doubt it would be picked up).
