Exclamation Reported attack page? Attn: TECH GUYS WORKING TO FIX ASAP

I'm on my Mac using Firefox, and when viewing a build thread, when i clicked the next page of the thread a warning popped up that said yotatech was a reported attack page, stating that it may try to take personal information. I had to override it to get back on the site. What's the issue? Security issue or what? Just thought i would bring it up that this happened to me.

tech guys are working on it.

if you can post a link to the thread you were looking at.
It will help them to get it narrowed down.
it usually is a result of stuff embedded in a photo.

Same thing happening to me.

It's coming up when I go to any YT forum or a specific post. Seems like it's a general thing and not specific to posting images.

Found this thread and it looks like this isn't the first time:

https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f92/...82/index4.html

Glad to hear the techs are on it, you guys are speedy!

I got it this morning at home with XP Pro and Firefox.
More than likely it is an external Google Sense ad that is corrupted.
Tech will diagnose it and kill it.

I can not do it at work here, but tech sent this earlier if someone from here wants to try this and post the info back to this thread.
When you get the warning, can you please click on the 'view google diagnostics' of this page, and once there, Google will identify the URL the malware is hosted on. Then we can search for that URL in the thread in question. Once we've got that, we can get rid of it very quickly

I've gotten the same Trojan warning the last few days on my PC. And for what it's worth, my iphone Yotatech app has been crashing consistently lately, as well.

Same for me the past couple days, and I have the same software/browser as you.

mybooboolapa.org is the website it told me was in question.

So, sounds like we're fine but that some folks posted links from malicious sites that were hosted on YT.com and as long as we don't click on bad stuff at YT.com we're OK?

You should be fine unless you click on a malicious link... It's just an annoyance when I go to the User CP and every time I open a new subscribed thread in a new tab I have to click "show advanced options>proceed at your own risk"

Guys this is the sort of info we need to kick these hackers in the balls.
Specific thread names help the most.

We all appreciate everyone's patience while the tech guys go to war

At home this morning I got the message again for the main URL, so I did not enter.
Funny, I am at Boeing now and with Windows 7 and Firefox, no warnings.

This has happened before and it will be cleared up.
More than likely it is an ad.
