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. |

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.

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'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.
I'm sure he'll respond as soon as he sees this and figures out what the issue is In the meantime, try not to beat up your computer I know you feel like this 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 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.

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.

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

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?
