Nest infected with Malware?

[brandienee]

I accidentally clicked on my old bookmark for MN... and got an alert that the link wasn't safe. It took me a little while to figure out what site it was.

Anyone using Safari and noticing the same thing? On one hand I really hope that it isn't a sign that my computer is infected. And on the other, it would be hilarious that the boards on The Nest would have to deal with this.

TX and BLT, have you heard anything?

They deserve it.

People have been getting that message since the format change on TN & people on my BMB reported it happening to then today on TB.

I haven't checked it in a while, but today is the first day I've seen it. I even tried TB and it says the same thing.

I noticed it too. I wonder since its a long weekend if they won't even get around to it until Tuesday?

I use chrome and have been getting it all day. I have gotten it before with TK but then it fixes.

ETA: But it works fine from IE

I get the same message on my Mac but not on my phone.

I was on the TB and it was ridiculously slow, even than normal. I bet it was infected.

I'm not tx or blt but I'm still a mod on my old local. From a mod post on the bump discussing this BK said:

As for the virus, definitely share the thread with me if you find it. We have had a few other reports of this, and it is actually not a virus. It has to do with the fact that the user has cleared their cookies and then opened a new page with cookies (which is a common tool used by websites to remember user information). The cookies are not malicious, though. But again, feel free to direct any concern my way.

Other posts have indicated the old standby of "we're looking into it"

yeah def didn't clear out my cookies

[iluvmytxrgr]

I haven't cleared my cookies and I'm still getting it.

Yeah I don't think that's a legit answer either. But it was what she gave, I haven't seen them say much about it otherwise

I'm late to this but it's still being reported and most have taken a bump hiatus(mods included) until it gets sorted out. I'm sure the Gods are out of the office until at least Tuesday though. :\
