Forums Problem

[Groningen]

Yes; it was the Filestore72 here also. They asked whether i would leave that page. I rebooted my PC instead.

Likewise.

Having done a quick google regarding this filestore72.info, I have found it happens to vBulletin powered sites (such as RailForums) running outdated software or plugins, or from an improperly configured server.

A quick test shows that RailForums is currently running vBulletin 3.8.8. The most up-to-date version of vBulletin is 5.2.1

My question is to the administrators of RailForums UK: Is our data safe?

The links you have provided relate to a piece of software called vbseo, this is not something we use.

We are running on the most up-to-date version of vBulletin 3, which is 3.8.9. vBulletin 5 is a different product.

The redirect to filestore only occurs when you access the site via Google. It is caused by an advert; once we are aware of the problem it can be rectified in about 5 seconds and is simply a redirect, it does not pose any security issues

Is anyone getting random blank tabs opening when browsing the forum?

I cannot confirm necessarily, but the past few days my browser has blocked pop-ups when on the forum index page. Note these aren't the "new private message" pop-ups, so this could be the blank tab trying to open. It's something I've never experienced before.

Hasn't happened to me on Chrome.

Has anybody been getting multiple alerts for the same posting for threads? I just got thirteen alerts for the same post in Everything Wrong With Pacers.

Also, a great many number of blocked redirects have been logged by my anti virus system - all from filestore
