Getting a warning while opening topics on this site
« on: July 15, 2012, 02:02:40 AM »
Hello.. I just got this warning:

Warning: Something's Not Right Here!
forums.taleworlds.com contains content from www.kasteleninnederland.nl, a site known to distribute malware. Your computer might catch a virus if you visit this site.
Google has found malicious software may be installed onto your computer if you proceed. If you've visited this site in the past or you trust this site, it's possible that it has just recently been compromised by a hacker. You should not proceed, and perhaps try again tomorrow or go somewhere else.
We have already notified www.kasteleninnederland.nl that we found malware on the site. For more about the problems found on www.kasteleninnederland.nl, visit the Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page.

Found that in the Dev Diary when I tried to open the thread.

It is related to one of the image links that they have posted there. A real life photo of the Muiderslot, apparently, which is hosted on the site that is seen as an attack site by Google.

I have downloaded the photo from that site and uploaded to Imageshack. Changed the link on monnikje's post as well. So it should be all clear now. I hope the developers won't mind.

The only thing on the dev diary from that domain is a completely innocuous image of a castle.

The site at kasteleninnederland.nl  is run on the popular Joomla CMS so it's possible it got hit with a worm at some point.  But in any case that's just an image reference so it's very, very, very likely to be safe.  (Images can be made to generate an exploitable crash but only if your OS is woefully unpatched.)
