I know this is RWA forum but...

What's up with this? I tried to get on trainsim.com but got this pop up warning.

[Chacal]

Well trainsim.com always had a problem with anger management.
I guess the next step was to start attacking visitors.
In a few months it will be leaving threatening, confused messages on your voice mail.

Wow, I can't even get there! I don't get a "this URL not found" or anything. Site must have been hacked and they took it down to fix it.

My AVG virus protection warned my that it saved me from a nasty virus from their site.

[Jimbo]

If you try to get there from Google, Google won't let you get there either.

[BNSF650]

Looks like they got maleware over there.

[jamesphh]

Just came from there. No problems.

[Chacal]

The most probable reason is new virus definition files (used by many anti-virus products) causing false positives. I had the same problem with Mike's rstools.info this week.

[steamman]

Yes that's quite possible, it's does happen periodically. If you investigate further you get this. Which in itself if you read it seems to be a little contradictory (?)...

However think I'll wait for a bit and see what happens, or wait for the next set of definition files to come out.. Just to be safe... I don't need the aggravation.

[SCLALINE]

[Chacal]

Looks like they got maleware over there.

Yeah, not too many women in train simming.

[5292nate]

I got on it yesterday, just fine, but today, it's an attack page again.

This was posted in the trainsim.com forums:

It looks like one of the ads on the page was hijacked and got reported through Google's safe browsing function. It's integrated in Chrome, and Firefox subscribes to it as a feature; other browsers may or may not. The problem probably lies with the OpenX advertising service; one of their ads is part of a cross-site scripting attack. Here's a clip of the report that Google's system gives; it's indicating a completely different site as the originator and lists other sites that it has propagated to, including this one.

Even if the exploit is found and eliminated, it might take some time for Google's index to be updated, particularly if human intervention is needed, seeing as it's Christmas Day.

If you are running good antivirus and an ad-blocker, the exploit won't even get a chance to load.
