DECEPTIVE SITE AHEAD
 

hi everyone,
i use google chrome and have never had any trouble getting to the chat bit of butchfemme unless the chat is down.
Yesterday however when i pressed the Chat link on the right hand side of the homepage, it tried to load the chat screen then suddenly it went to a red screen with the title subject DECEPTIVE SITE AHEAD.
just wanted to know have any of you had this problem, and if so how did you fix it.
i have reported this message to the google site.
I just find it really weird how this as all of a sudden happened, when i havent changed any settins at all on my laptop.
Any help on this would be great.

problem solved
 

looks like i have solved the problem.
it looks like it was to do with chrome browsing setting.

could you tell me what setting because I am still having problems. I have to use Microsoft Edge to enter.

I've never gone into chat, but on the topic of Chrome; I use it for casual browsing like this site and though no problems here immediately after updating chrome Netflix went wonky. That has also been traced to Chrome itself, so I think odd things may happen until an update or patch is available. Using a different browser works fine for me.

Could you share how you fixed it? I had the same issue yesterday! I switched over to explorer and used that to get in finally but I'd much rather use chrome.
Thanks

Ok, I have the same problem. How did you fix it Jools?

Deceptive Site?
 

Is there a security vulnerability that we need to be concerned about?

Security issue?
 

I'm not willing to change my chrome settings unless Linus says to in a how to fix this issue. It could be something wrong security wise. I notified chaperone about it to contact Linus on this issue, because it wasn't acting up with Chrome browser last night on my favorites link or site link as of yesterday and I haven't done anything different to chrome, it's been updated for while now.

I am not changing as well unless we have a solution..

I've written to Linus. I know it's frustrating, but if you can, please be patient as it is the holiday weekend and I'm sure we're all hoping that he's having a fun holiday. :fireworks:

I'm sure he'll respond as soon as he sees this and figures out what the issue is :deepthoughts:

In the meantime, try not to beat up your computer :beatcomputer: I know you feel like this :shark:

If you CAN use a different browser, like IE or Mozilla, do so in the meantime and no doubt Linus will be here as soon as he can to help :)

If anyone else is having the same problems, please also post here so we have an idea how widespread this issue is

I am having problems with Chrome and i am not willing to change either

To Linus
 

I just got the same message on my Chrome. Quite scary

Big read screen with a red X in a white octogon shape.

Linus, I took a screenshot of it if you want the photo

I attempted chat using Chrome and received the same Alert.

I switched to IE and had no issue whatsoever.

Ks-

This is EXACTLY what I got too. Security Alert from Chrome Blocking the chat room. I won't use another browser until I know for sure it's not a fluke. I don't want my computer infected.

I've gotten the red warning 2 nights in a row now...super weird.

Hrmm... I'll have to see if we can get removed from Google's phishing list. It isn't us but rather the chat provider. We have been looking at others since this provider has basically gone out of business, has no support and likely has been targetted by attackers. I can't guarantee that we'll be able to get it done quickly however.

I'll give an heads up to Medusa. Perhaps this might be an incentive to move to another chat program.

do you think that chatters are at risk even through IE or firefox? Or is it just chrome

The reality is if the chat site is truly being used for malware it could impact any user regardless of the browser used.

having read what people have said i have changed my settings back again.
Because this sounds like a security risk.
so best not to change ya setting until we have the all clear.

BUMP !
 

If the possibility is real for malware in our chat room due to no fault of our own, then why not shut down our access to chat until we find a new one? Just to make sure no one is infected? And put up a sticky about it?
