    CUK triggers malware warning

    Has CUK been infiltrated by Russian spies?

    This pops up whenever I visit the General forum now

    I've got Malwarebytes Premium too and not getting anything. Are you clicking an assguru post?

        Ok, I was using Chrome. Just tried with Firefox and I'm getting exactly the same warning, apart from a slightly different IP and port.

        I haven't used Firefox for ages, probably more than a year.

                Just for interest, here's an explanation of it: urldelivery.com - Malwarebytes Labs | Malwarebytes Labs | Detections

                  Indeed. It only happened on my iPhone, and happens on any page of the forums - well, the ones I've tried, which are the home page, General, TPD, and ancillary pages like the "compose post" page.

                  I can get it to happen on a desktop browser by switching the User Agent header to an iPhone one, though. A couple of seconds after the page has loaded, it suddenly shoots off through a chain of about seven or eight redirects, landing up on some page that tells me my iPhone has malware, or that I've won a prize, or in one case porn that failed to load

                    or in one case porn that failed to load
                    You obviously waited to see if it would. If you catch a virus on a porn website maybe one should go to the online STD clinic.

                    I would have said it's another MB false report if you hadn't actually been misdirected. Funny that this should only happen on some browsers (not in Edge either BTW).
