Blueseum hacked - DO NOT CLICK ON GOOGLE SEARCH RESULTS

DO NOT!!! I REPEAT - DO NOT Try this - has worked on two computers thus far:
1. Go to Google.com.au
2. Search for Blueseum
3. Click the top entry (** Warning: may contain offensive material **)

The website works correctly if typed in correctly. Can't figure out how this is happening!?! Looks like it's been hijacked at some point.

Thanks buzz, looks like it has been hacked.

Just having a look now to see if I can fix it.

I can't see that but am at work so perhaps sites like you have found are being barred. In the world of Blueseum's I think there is a Russian porn site and a variety of Blues Music sites in the West. It's probably the former!

I'm betting that 'Norman Clark' was also the name of a porn star of Blues musician, as he's currently in the Top 20 of all viewed pages on the site. Nothing against the input of Hackenschmidt all those years ago, but he's only just behind Murphy and shouldn't be that popular....

ps Also Round 8, 1974 is in the top 50 pages. Anyone think of why?

I had trouble accessing it from a google search last week. I was gonna post about it but I thought it was just me, 'cause when I posted the link and checked it in the preview it took me straight to the blueseum and not to the other website which was coming up.

Some of the other Blueseum links listed in Google - using words from Blueseum articles / references - take me somewhere that they shouldn't.

I wouldn't recommend trying to access it from work either as i get redirected to porn...

maybe people googling for *snatch* ?

(i notice *behind* was there too, maybe just the saints supporters were googling that)

I was sent to http://www.blueseum.com/artists.html

That was about three or four down .. the top one was to one of the "official" blueseum sites ..

I am currently working with my server host to find the problem.

Apologies for all of this, I have been having a running battle with hackers over the last six months or so on the site and just when I think I have fixed the problem another one turns up.

Sorry to hear about all this Jars. :cry:

Sorry folks - I didn't know some people would end up with virii as a result. I've had a look around and it could be what's termed "page hijacking - refer Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_hijacking

Hopefully this helps clear up the problems. I wouldn't put it past a Collingwood supporter to have done this. Seriously!

Please explain what happened to your computer? as soon as i was redirected to porn i restarted and scanned my comp which detected a couple of trojans and some bad cookies.

Looking at that wiki article it doesnt seem like theres a solution for it :shock:

That's good,now your know if your anti virus is working if your anti virus said that,you can remove it. It's the hidden virus that you don't see, that is a worry when the anti virus doesn't detect.

The site itself is working fine but for some reason google search results have been hijacked in some way.

What's the point of hackers doing this,just wondering,what they get out of it doing this stuff. Is it just them being a jerk and annoying everybody or trying to steal from people.Anyone know ?

This will get rid of the "hidden virus".Its anti spyware but much much better than the freeware stuff available.

Im no expert but this software is great.Cost about $40, but well worth having.It will pick up trojans and other nasties that Norton will miss.

Finally found the source of the hack.

It has been fixed and the google search results are now safe to click on.

Thanks to buzz for finding this, I wouldn't have known otherwise as I usually just access the site by typing in the address or using favourites.

There are still a few issues with respect to working out if anything else on the site has been exploited.

Again apologies to anyone effected by this.

hackers are scum, but it is my responsibility to secure the site as much as possible. I thought it was rock solid, but they always seem to find something new.

If you type in www.blueseum.org into the browser, would you recieve any virii or whatever?
