- tonylemesmer 9y agoSame - When I visited the site I got a load of application download requests - seems like it has been compromised unless its some corrupted image lazy loader?
- xexers 9y agoSame here
- waltwalther 9y agoSame. The site attempted to download multiple files to my machine. Beware of this site. I did not examine the files, only deleted them.
- aceofspad4s 9y agoI did not get anything like that. Are you sure your ad blocker is up to date?
- toyg 9y agoSame. I want to be charitable and believe some content-compressing mechanism was misconfigured. Who would ever distribute a virus as ".gz"?
