Strange content on the web site that does not seem to be present in github

Open zuzzurro opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

Is this text in the web page actually supposed to be there? Has the web site been compromised?

"To see how graphic codes improve the performance of new RTG casinos, visit casino-online.com"

Oof, yeah, that does look like the site has been compromised. That's pretty worrying, not so much for the site itself, but on account of what else might be compromised with it :/.

Wait.. just checked. ccodearchive.net expired is no longer the current site for ccan. Looks like it has been taken by someone else who's put a site to resemble the old one there, but with added spam :(. Unfortunate, but not in the same way as I thought.

I'm looking into using some (appropriately licensed) code "in real life." Is there a plan to replace the ccodearchive.net reference in the repo with something, um, not someone else? Note that Mr. Russell mentions the issue in https://lore.kernel.org/ccan/[email protected]/T/#u .

Actually, some of his other sites have been compromised, like the one on medium.com. Worried.
