I keep getting locked out of the forum, and sent to a blank page...

Intermittent all night.

Anyone else experiencing forum delays or misdirection?

Morning

Yes and re-diredirected  to something like a.mgid.com ?

Initially I was assuming I had downloaded something dodgy, but it appeared to be happening on two different machines (Macs).

However, I found it only effected Safari (Browser). Not Google Chrome, that apppears to be fine.

Is it the same for you ?

Also it only effected the various DJI websites which made me also then wonder if their site had been attacked/compromised.


** I did clear out Cache (Clear History/Preferences) etc and then running Adblock seems to keep it at bay, unless as RedHot has suggested it's intermittent  **

Kept me visiting alternative websites for most of the evening.

Not sure exactly what was going on here... was pretty annoying anyways.



Hopefully it’s being addressed.

Yes, it was odd, I figured, ok, give it a half hour, but after 5 or 6 hours of it happening,
I thought, ok, this is not a minor glitch.

Nope. Not very open on that part.

Must be something Chinese I guess.

Same issue all day yesterday. Being re-directed to another page every time I came to the forum. Only way to avoid it was to shut off java script, but then you couldn’t log in. Weird for sure. Seems okay so far this morning.

It struck you too? ;-)

Not sure why only some browsers were affected, afflicted.

Hopefully, what ever rolled through here, has already rolled back out...

I would say that with some certainty that it sounds and looks like it was a denial of service attack,  if i remember correctly, the attackers get sent to bad gateways, i didnt think real traffic did though, not sure, perhaps there was something bad in the setup of the protection service  or sommat, or that its a low budget service and all traffic is rerouted  regardless....

Are ya gonna ask me why i think this?

Sure did but had a feeling it was the forum software doing something weird and not a malicious code. It only happened on the iPad using Safari. No problems on the iPhone using Safari or on PC. Definitely was using the java code for the re direct though. Strange issue for sure.

It was likely caused by the moon. ;-)

I may recant my previous theory, when i did my checks, i mistyped the URL, instead of mgid.com, i put in migid.com, the latter are a ddos protection company, or were, thats what came up in my whois search.

I have just tried again this morning but got the URL right this time and mgid.com is still down, ie bad gateway.  so right there my initial thoughts was perhaps it was just a routing issue, but i would find it unlikely that such an issue would redirect you to another page. not even sure a ddos will, they just make a site really slow or no access at all.

So that brings me to an sql or php injection that will insert a redirect, i dont know squat about hacking, just what i have picked up over the years running my own server, but, like you said, we will probably never get to find out, the Chinese are a proud peoples, therefore telling westeners that they had a weakness in their script would be verboten.....

I hate redirects. Wish they weren’t a reality on the www.


It’s frightening what some ‘bright minds’ can do with a little computer code...
