Hi guys,

I would just like to give thanks for this information. I've received this alert twice today morning and I was worried. Now I'm relieved.  :)

I wonder if it's affecting a lot of users around the world or just a handful. I also wonder if users with other browsers are getting the same alert.

Anyway, I'm just glad to know I'm not the only one with this issue.  ;)

Regards,

Eyalin

Hi guys,
the URL 54.69.95.67 had been used for malicious purposes until ~7 days ago (domains such as 00dvla.t2gdssvyy.com, 00hot7kwwgk.xtdq3k9.com, 00lcpudbamm.uvxdiu5i.com pointed here). 7 days ago, virtually all the traffic stopped, and then traffic rose yesterday 16:00 CET. This is commonly caused by somebody buying the IP.
I just now unblocked the IP, so there should be no more popups for you:-)!

Hi HonzaZ,

To be hoped buyer is a sinkholer so the malicious activity will be mitigated.
It is a pity it is only a certain class of domains that qualify for sinkholing,
else you have no other option then to block.
