Attack page?

I mostly browse FreeRepublic on my phone, opening several links at a time as I scroll down the page. I just had 4 pages with this warning. When I clicked on the bottom to ignore the warning, it says that FreeRepublic is a known phishing scam. Looks like someone is spreading a few untruths about us.

I just got a different version of the same thing...

The exact same thing is happening to me using Chrome on my desktop.

That’s just the Yeb! campaign. Pay no attention.

Doesn’t happen with Internet Explorer ... but nothing ever happens with Internet Explorer when it comes to malware ;-)!

[corlorde]

Ditto, I am using Avast free version virus software..

[martin_fierro]

I got that warning too. It’s Bushit. < |:)~

[Redleg Duke]

I haven’t gotten that...yet!

You’ll have to track it back to the database used by Firefox (and apparently Chrome) to determine if a URL is safe.

Looks like someone managed to get it put into the database.

I am using Internet Explorer and using Panda as my blocker and haven’t had anything...I was getting a lot when on Chrome Google, but took it out and went another way....

[MrB]

Ditto on Chrome.

I did some digging: Firefox (and presumably Chrome) are using a Google database.

Here's how to get it removed:

I’ve confirmed that my site is safe, how do I get it removed from the lists?

[Carriage Hill]

Norton, ok.
Opera, ok.
Chrome, ok.

[Paladin2]

Linux Desktop with Firefox and Ghostery. No trouble.

One of my former employer’s IT departments first had FR as an extremist site. Then they changed it to WAR
NING! Political Activist Site.

Appears to be an AdWare attack from “ www.stopbadware.org “

I’d better run a good virus scan.

[Fido969]

It’s a leftie micro-aggression.

[bigbob]

make sure you include “Soros-funded anticonservative bull$shite” in your scan
