Phishing Warning

Postby northeast » Fri May 17, 2013 9:03 pm

Got a message from Google to say there may be some warnings when logging on as they suspect someone has added a 'phishing' link to the site .... all OK with me but be cautious about redirection, we are investigating!

Text of message

"We recently discovered that some pages on your site look like a possible phishing attack, in which users are encouraged to give up sensitive information such as login credentials or banking information. We have removed the suspicious URLs from Google.com search results and have begun showing a warning page to users who visit these URLs in certain browsers that receive anti-phishing data from Google."

Update on Phishing
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=www.northeastmaritime.co.uk
Whatever it was caused the problem it was not NEM.
A few recommendations, members should change their passwords regularly and keep the PC Anti-Virus and Malware software up to date, keep the bad buggers out.

Thanks for that Mick, seems reassuring and any warnings can be disregarded .... advice to change passwords is heeded!
