The forums are apparently coming under a password phising/sniffing/or whatever-type of attack.

(Cf. WT post and WT email):

ryyannon, There is an active password fishing attack being attempted on some of our sites (RWG.cc, RWI and WT). Be advised that on the IPB sites, WT and RWG.cc, if a password change or email change is attempted, your will get an email asking top confirm the change. DO NOT IGNORE THIS MAIL! While the password or email will not be changed unless you use the authorization link in the mail, it contains the IP address where the change was originated. If you get this mail, with the subject: "Password recovery information from WatchTrader (From WatchTrader)", please forward it to RepAttacks@gmail.com immediately. Thank you.

Quite frankly, I don't understand a damn thing concerning the above, but someone is apparently trying to hack into our data....

copy and pasted.

It's someone's avatar.

Sevmond's avatar:

http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...ads/av-3661.jpg

If you have his avatar in cache,you won't get pop ups.

It looks like someone has added a .htpasswd in the forum folder.

The solution is to make the members to host the avatar somewhere else, or you can always adblock it.

The image/upload folder is protected by a .htaccess file by default to prevent outside linking to the pictures :)

So the above is no phising/password sniffer/etc
