Malware alert for FA users by tsunderdog

Hey everyone, if you're still using FA I really highly suggest you do some serious malware scanning. If you haven't heard, there's been a script injection which may install a browser hijacker on your computer if you don't have sufficient securities in place.

I don't know if it's still a threat (that is, I don't know if they've removed the threat AND patched the exploit), but you should scan your PC and clear your browser cache even if you haven't noticed any odd behavior, simply because routine prevention is a good practice.

    It's an old fashioned IFRAME exploit. Newer browsers are immune, but older ones and MOBILES are vulnerable.

      Actually, I hear Firefox is supposed to be more secure these days. But yeah. I don't actually use FA any more, so I'm more or less safe by exclusion :P
