Has this forum been hacked?

[Rodney_UK]

Hello!

When I visit this forum now, I get redirected to another page that says I've won something. It looks like it is this forum that is the culprit as this does not happen with other websites that I usually visit.

There also seems to be lots of posts from user/s that are trying to sell stuff with zero connection to anything about Lr baggs or anything to do with music.

Hey Rodney_UK,
We've definitely been having some issues with spam, but I wasn't aware of any other issues.

If you've been redirected then could indicate a much bigger issue in our Forum host's security. I will forward your post on to our developer and see what they can do.

When you were re-directed, what website were you coming from? Any details you can provide would be helpful.

So sorry for any inconvenience.

Also, if any other users have run into the same or similar issues, please let me know.

Hi Caleb!

This happens on both of my devices and only when I visit this forum. I know it must be tedious for things like this to happen.

The website that I am being redirected to is called winhugebonus.com

Thanks for the info!

It's looking like VBulletin has been hacked somehow. I'm getting re-directs and spam in my admin dashboard too.

I'll have to notify the host company.

Thanks everyone for your patience.

Still getting redirected

FYI. The forum login screen redirected me to a "I won" something site. Just a heads up.
