I don't know anything more, but I got that when I went there too. I tried to look up some color MUSCLEs yesterday and I got a big red warning: "Reported Attack Page".

 

Thank you

"Google detected badware on the site you were visiting. Firefox uses Google's blacklist to warn you about "Reported attack sites." We understand that you may know and trust this site, but it's possible for good sites to be infected with badware without the site owners' knowledge or permission."

 

I ignored the warnings & went on the page anyway, because linux,

& I didn't see anything in the page source that looked phishy,

but what do I know? :p

 

Edit:

 

I sent an email to info@musclefigures.com:

 

Hey guys! Regular user of your site here, Firefox seems to be giving warnings that your page has "badware" installed on it, some users on LRG forums have noticed.

"Google detected badware on the site you were visiting. Firefox uses Google's blacklist to warn you about "Reported attack sites." We understand that you may know and trust this site, but it's possible for good sites to be infected with badware without the site owners' knowledge or permission."
 
Just a heads up!
Hope you get things sorted

The main thing is DO NOT click on the message itself that is supposedly warning of the "Reported Attack Page."

 

DO NOT click on it trying to close it.

 

That's how you get the malware.

That is the standard Firefox warning they put out when a site has been infected.

Attached File  Untitled-2.jpg   42.07K   0 downloads

It is not a "fake warning" virus.

However, if I had to guess, either his site has been compromised or the ad network he uses has been compromised and a few random visitor to the site got hit with some nastiness.

LRG had the same thing happen a year or so ago when one of the Google ads had a hijacked advertiser. That is why I turned off the flash ads and only allow the basic text/image ads.

I guess it goes without saying but if the password you used for that site was also used for anything else, you should probably change it now.
And I'd keep an eye on your credit card accounts too (in case CC data was stored in their DB).

The site loads today with no warning. I don't know enough about how these things work, is it safe to read that as the problems have been fixed?

 

Thank you
