[demiurga]

[whoamiseo]

[benjamin_smith]

still down for me, had to have happen within the past hour.

typing “fiverr.com” takes me to an infected portal

typing “http://www.fiver.com” gets me to the site.



I just hope the dev team backs up all the transaction and revenue history offsite…

Reply to @whoamiseo: you seem to know an awful lot about it. And that avatar looks like Anonimous ? It was down for 2 3 minutes then a popup with a trojan install popped up (therefor it was hacked somehow) and now once again in the last 5 minutes it dropped again.

I am not sure how accurate this is but it appears to be a summary of some of what we know http://no-adware.com/blog/fiverr-hacked-serving-malware/

I was getting that popup, closed my browser, ran a Malwarebytes scan, and reopened it and the issue seems to have gone away for me…nothing evil on the scanner…hrmmm

[albozian]

I have installed the flashplayer, is abnormal when fiverr.com gets hacked and sends malwares!!!

[kissreviews]

Completely messed me up, too.

[steveeyes]

I’m not very technical about this stuff. I used malewarebytes and it found no virus. However, on another site I was reading that this virus (I forget the name) may of infected computers at the ROOT and that a regular virus scan may not detect it.



So, may I ask others what they are using to scan and how do you detect if you have a virus at the ROOT?



Thanks

[steveeyes]

Please everyone…be sure to check for virus…I checked with malewarebytes and it found no virus. Next I tried microsoft security essentials and it found no viruses.



Someone told me to use Avast and do a boot scan. As I write this (on my laptop) Avast has found the virus kryptik-HYB doing a boot scan on my main computer. So highly recommend that everyone does a boot scan to be sure you don’t have the virus. I have a huge drive so it may take all day for it to complete.



Why fiverr is not providing guidance on this is amazing.

Should be safe if you didn’t actually install the flash plugin that was being sent. But since this was probably a targeted virus, best to change your passwords and run a scan anyway.

[steveeyes]

Reply to @doubleu: That is where I was confused. I didn’t install it or at least I didn’t think I did. When I clicked the link to go to fiverr I saw the message about installing flash player and ignored it. But than my computer rebooted without me doing anything so that is when I became concern.

Hi everyone. The site is up and running and is fully functional. We are not aware of any viruses during the recent outage, however, we are advising all users with PCs to have their computers scanned as a precaution.

Only explanation i can think of is that the entire team is still busy repairing the damage and patching the security issues!

@globalva You can’t be serious? You have multiple users on here giving you information on a malicious download and you guys are denying this?



Unbelievable. I was infected by the exact FORCED download everyone is talking about and Fiverr comes out with ‘We aren’t aware’ - head in the sand.



Show some respect to your users at least and tell them how this can be removed.

[flyby]

This makes me so angry that you guys choose to disrespect and potentially cause massive damage to your entire community of loyal users by trying to deny you were hacked and infected.



Everyone read this post. You will understand what Fiverr is downright lying about here.

Reply to @steveeyes: They’re not providing any guidance. They’re taking the path that will cost them the least amount of negative publicity and of course less financial input.

Their response below ‘it didn’t happen’ but just in case it did happen, scan you pc’s anyway.



This is a root kit which normal scans will not detect, the saddest part is, this could cause serious damage to users that aren’t technically aware and Fiverr could not care a less.

Reply to @doubleu: It was a forced download. Unless you were using Google chrome you would not have been aware of it downloading in the background.

Wow now i’m really concerned!



Please let us know when you have investigated further and confirmed that whatever vulnerabilities were exploited have been patched!
