There seems to be a major problem with the website today. Malware warnings and cannot post images. Already reported to Andreas some time ago but problems remain.

Sorry, was offline (visit of Cologne zoo with my family).

 

Back an hour ago, started trying to find the reason - I think I found and fixed it.

It was the ad server which included a small gif from that malware site.

 

Good news: You have an ad free forum for the time until it's finally fixed ;)

Issues still there; problem seems to be some embedded link to **************** (see Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page for www.****************)

 

Best,

Michael

 

P.S.: Now, taht's helpful if the forum deletes the suspicious URL... ;-) Please substitute the asterisks with n b v h h d t n 3 2 1 . c o m but remove the blanks...

I wpuld be willing to pay a yearly subscription (like I gladly do for Sean Reid's site) in order to have a perfectly safe and ad free site.

Any risk of malware again (I got the same red message as everyone) and that's the end of this site for me.

But not the dodgy server

 

Sorry, I can't run this forum without a server - which is not "dodgy"

 

The reason was a piece of software which is serving the ads in this forum which I keep the lights no. The problem was fixed by a minor update (2.8.1 => 2.8.5) and I took additional measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

 

I can't promise 100% security - as no one can. My server admins and I do our best to keep the Leica Forum a secure place but who promises you 100 % security lies.

 

This was the first time in about 10 years we had such an incident and it was fixed in minutes - as many users informed me directly.

 

Best regards from Bonn

Andreas
