Malware in forum!

Hi there,

 

just noticed that somebody's hacked the forum. Whenever I hit the bookmark in my browser, the forum page starts with a couple of error messages along the lines of

 

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /hotel/osxlatitude.com/forum/index.php(1) : eval()'d code:6) in /hotel/osxlatitude.com/forum/admin/sources/classes/output/formats/html/htmlOutput.php on line 127

 

and my antivirus sw pops up a window saying it's blocked access to a malicious site..

 

I've seen that before on another site, I believe it's a hack which is meant to "steal" requests to the forum in favour of a third party which means that for example you can end up with Google indexing your forum as "cheap viagra sales" and the like...

 

All the best! :-)

Hi,

 

Not sure its a malware, could just be a FalsePosetive.. but lets dig into it.

 

1. What browser and OS are you using?

2. Can you give a URL exampel ?

3. What anti-virus are you using ?
