TBN being hacked?

[otlski]

I got it twice on my MacBook last night. Gave up and left TBN.

I received both of these McAfee screens while on TBN today. I could only hit upper tab in order to remove.

Same thing happened to me maybe 2 days ago. I narrowed it down to this site only, so I reluctantly posted about it asking if anyone else had this problem. After doing that, it stopped. BTW I had Mcaffee protection on my laptop and I deleted it. The same warning still popped up every time I got on this site.. Extremely annoying

Trying to replicate this. Is everybody who saw this using safari?

No Safari here. windows Edge

Edit: Thursday at 10:18 is when I posted about the issue.

I don't get very many TBN ads, and no TBN popups.

With NoScript, I have:

TractorByNet.com set to "Trusted"
Connatix.com set to "Default"
GoogleTagManager.com set to "Default"
pub.network set to "Default"

With "Default" likely being similar to "Untrusted", I.E. scripts blocked by default.

I do still get page header ads, and that is fine. I use this is in part to reduce tracking scripts, and as a front line antivirus.

Now, looking up the info posted by @Pixguy.

This is undoubtedly a simple phishing/Trojan scam. Whatever you do, don't click on the boxes and let it install stuff on your computer. Close the windows, or perhaps close your browser.

If there was a malware script loading on our pages, you would see it in noscript.

The four that you mentioned are all legitimate, not malware.

I’m getting Wordpress error trying to bring up tbn on DuckDuckGo browser. Makes no sense.

Firefox / Win 7 / NoScript. Also a phone with Android 12.

I haven't seen any of those issues.
