I do a round of forum perusal each morning and among those I look at are our neighbors over at the PAFOA forum. This morning when I tried to bring it up, I got a warning that it was under attack and there was malware there that could delete files from my hard drive, steal passwords etc. Anybody else encounter the same?

 

Adios,

where? i didn't see anything about maleware?

its mentioned on their fb page also,

Yes, it's when you go on the forum.PAFOA.com part of the site. The newest edition of FireFox popped it up for me. Do not use chrome.

 

FireFox is probably throwing up a flag because they use a "sub domain" forum.PAFOA on their site. If you hit "ignore this warning and continue" it will bring you to their site. I'm sure you are just hitting up the Classifieds, haah.

Clicking into the forum using Safari warns that it's a suspected malware site. According to Google diagnostics:
