Default Hackers sourcing this place?

Anyone ever experience a hack or data breach sourced from this site? Just wondering.

Several years back there were some infected third-party ads that made me very glad I don't allow scripts for arbitrary third-party domains.

Interesting, there seems to be a new surge in "attempts" lately.

Norton blocks this site quite frequently. It seems to be riddled with problems. I won't visit CF with my good devices anymore.

No problems for me any time in the last few years, using Firefox, McAfee, and AdBlockerPlus.

Some forum members who have problems should go to the HELP forum and post a thread about it. JT will help you find the problem.

Just the other day I stepped away from my PC which was logged in to CFOT. When I came back an hour or so later, my anti-virus had trapped a bunch of malware. The only outside connection was the one my browser had to this forum.

I'm thinking a bad batch of ads snuck through the screening process...

Well, there was this hacker from Brampton Ontario about 2-3 years ago but now there's just disruptive stuff like a virus that my super secret spy tools have been picking up.

Hackers have found a way so that if you pass your mouse pointer over their Icon on a web page it will start to download the crap they want on your computer. Most antivirus have not caught up with this new type of hacking.
