Has this site been hacked or do I have malware?

I have been following the link below:
"iTunes 7.7.1 repeatedly asking for authorization"
... which I suggest you DO NOT CLICK until you have read this post.
Starting today (8/20/08) when I click on the link to that thread, the discussion starts to load - then - a different page loads with a media player window and popups suggesting I need to update my Flash player. At the the same time a download begins for a file named StarCodec_ver1.5612.0.exe!!
Has anybody else seen this?
Is this Apple's problem or should I be troubleshooting possible malware on my end?

Yes, I know this is wrong place to post this topic, but I wanted to leave a warning here for those most likely to click on that thread.

OK, I think I found the problem and fixed it.
Because I was subscribed to the topic, I got an email - supposedly from Apple ([email protected]) - telling me the thread had been updated by "DrDeniro" on 8/20/08 at 4:45 PM.
That email contained this suspicious text:
javascript:document.location.replace("http://google.com/"style="background:white;position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;margin-top: 0px;display:block;width:100024px;height:100024px;"onmouseover="document.location ='http://yahhooo.info~/lodamart.htm'")
. . . which I failed to see before I clicked the link in the email to view the thread. (I just now put in a couple of extra characters because I don't want this code to do anything bad in this post.)
By experimentation I had previously discovered disabling Safari's JavaScript stopped the bad page from loading. I had also noticed the name "lodamart" in the bad page's web address - so that email set off some warning bells.
I'm not sure exactly what happened her, but after clearing Safari's cache, I can now open the thread without getting hijacked to the media player/download page. It may be a coincidence that the link worked after clearing the cache - maybe Apple fixed it on their end - I don't know, but it seems to be OK now.

HT201413 when i installed itunes in my old computer it would disable my CD burner and I was only able to burn through itunes. has this problem been resloved or will i have the same problem when i download it into my new computer?

When I installed itunes into my old computer (loaded with Windows Vista) it deleated my CD burner and would only allow me to burn via itunes - I had to go in to Best Buy to have them fis the problem but was told not to download new updates for itunes or it would do the same. with this fix I am not able to burn CDs from itunes which is a bummer. If I download itunes onto my new computer (loaded with Windows 7) is it going to do the same thing or has this problem been resolved?

Copy them from your old computer, or your backuo copy of your old computer. to your new one.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. the exception is itunes purchases.

Has this forum been hacked?

I just filled out a survey which opened in a window when I entered the forum. There was an Adobe logo in the window and I had no suspicious sites open in my browser. After finishing the survey, in which I spent valuable time giving feedback about how the search features of this site don't work, the survey said "Our Website Survey Is Temporarily Unavailable" and that I should send an email to a cryptic email address:
[email protected]
This is extremely suspicious. Wow... even trying to get help is making things worse.

No, Foresee has been doing random surveys on this site.
Not sure what net glitch caused the unavailable message (but we've sure had a lot of them on the forums and adobe.com lately).

I just put up a new iWeb website and firefox is putting BIG BLACK BOXES around all my photos. Why has this not been fixed yet? I have to tell everybody who views my site NOT to use Firefox. This is unacceptable. Please fix ASAP. This is my site below.

with 3.6.19 it works well, no black boxes
with 5.0.1 there are black boxes

You will have to wait for Firefox 6 to get this fixed. It is a bug only in Firefox 5. That bug existed when the Firefox 5 code was split off and Firefox 5 didn't get the fix that later version got.

Got an email stating my account was deactivated, but I checked AdobeSend online and my account is OK, no payment necessary. Was this a legitimate email from Adobe or has AdobeSend now been hacked?

I'll contact you privately for additional information.

Has my ipad been hacked?

I have to noticed recently that a website keeps appearing in my history, but I definitely have never been on it. I don't know if its happening to anyone else, but it's www.peanuts.com?? Has my ipad been hacked? Is there anything I can do do stop it? Please help!

After using my iPad this morning and came home in the afternoon, I noticed when trying to log in, there was a keyboard in the bottom half of the screen and my four digit passcode in parenthesis right above. If freaked me out. No one was home at the time, or had access to my iPad. I wish I had taken a screen shot.
The only way I could get out of it was to shut down and log back in. What could had caused that?

Find my friends showed my location moving around all night, yet I was at home asleep with my phone next to me. Has my phone been hacked?

Even though I had my phone with me and was home asleep, my friend using the find my friends app thought I was moving all over town all night, as it showed that on the app. Has my phone been hacked?

My phone never left my possession. Does anyone have a clue how this could have occurred??
Does anyone else have access to your Apple ID & password?

Has my iPhone been hacked? NEED HELP PLS

I called a number in my contacts and as it was dialing, different strangers answer the call and I have no idea who they are. When they hang up, the dial tone resumes until another stranger picks up the phone. This happened once and after that it was back to normal. Has my iPhone been hacked?

If your iPhone has not been jailbroken or out of your possession, it cannot be hacked.
Sounds more like a problem with the phone service, especially since it was a one time thing.

Flash player does not work with new ICS Android 4.0.4 OS. Has this problem been addressed?

Flash player does not work with new ICS Android 4.0.4 OS. Has this problem been addressed? I am using Firefox Beta for android and I also tried just Firefox.

Please check the Play Store app for any Flash updates and install them if present.

We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 for our church worship service; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing. Has this issue been resolved? Thank you!

We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 in our church worship service; we have front screens and a stage display monitor ; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing. Has this issue been resolved? Now that we are 2 upgrades behind, I'm getting little concerned. Thank you!

Oh, well that was a whole other kettle of fish:
Oh the G4 I attempted to install iLife '08 before Lepoard was available. About the only thing that installed cleanly was iPhoto. I ended up reinstalling everything back to iLife '06, and then upgrading back to the current stable version of the iLife '06 version. I didn't attempt a reinstall until after I upgraded to Leopard.
When I did reinstall, I made a iLife '06 folder, copied all iLife apps into it, and upgraded. Seemed to work, except for the part where iMovie gets left behind and iDVD is only mostly functional.
When I installed on the other 2 machines, it was after installing Leopard and all upgrades. On those 2 machines, I didn't bother with the copy, I just moved everything to the iLife '06 folder I created, and did a fresh install.
I didn't have to do anything with the iPhoto Libraries, that I can recall.
I always do an upgrade, never an archive and install. I've never had a problem with this back to 10.1 or 10.2.

HT6601 Why has this update been installed without my knowledge?

Why has this update been installed without my knowledge? Why wasn't I given the opportunity to refuse the update? Isn't this update meant to stop this unauthorised access to my computer? Has this given back door access for ASIO, NSC, MI6 to my computer?

So what are your preferences set as regarding updates?
And, are you running ML as shown in your profile?
And, I downloaded and installed this update because there was a possible security issue; however, I have all automatic software update checks and downloads turned off, so i downloaded it manually as it was critical to install it as long as you are using the internet.
Has this given back door access for ASIO, NSC, MI6 to my computer?
Why would you suspect that?

Has my phone been hacked?

I use the twitter/twitter app quite a bit and yesterday was the first time that I've ever seen a spam tweet from my account. So, I deleted it and changed my account password. I've just gone to send a text and noticed a new contact in my address book that I didn't put in and hadn't seen till today. It was called "twitter" and had a random number attached to it. I've deleted it but it didn't give me the option to block. Has my phone been hacked and if so, is there anything I need to worry about/do? Thanks.

Twitter allows you to send & receive tweets via text message, so it's possible that random contact is Twitter. Check their support pages & you should be able to confirm if that is the case. I believe the number for receiving messages is the same for everyone but the one you send messages to is unique for each account.

There is a problem with adding a Mnemonic to a JLabel and linking it to a JTextField (I haven't tried other JTextComponents). Copy the following code, and try to run it:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class SwingProblem
   public static void main( String [] args )
         Create labels and text fields.
         You can use the keyboard mnemonics to switch
         between the fields: ALT-S and ALT-J.
      // For the top of the frame
      JLabel jlTop = new JLabel( "Swing" );
      jlTop.setDisplayedMnemonic( KeyEvent.VK_S );
      JTextField jtfTop = new JTextField( 20 );
      jlTop.setLabelFor( jtfTop );
      JPanel jpTop = new JPanel();
      jpTop.add( jlTop );
      jpTop.add( jtfTop );
      // Now, for the bottom of the frame
      JLabel jlBottom = new JLabel( "Jazz" );
      jlBottom.setDisplayedMnemonic( KeyEvent.VK_J );
      JTextField jtfBottom = new JTextField( 20 );
      jlBottom.setLabelFor( jtfBottom );
      JPanel jpBottom = new JPanel();
      jpBottom.add( jlBottom );
      jpBottom.add( jtfBottom );
      // Make the frame
      JFrame frame = new JFrame( "What's up with this?" );
      frame.setSize( 300, 150 );
      frame.addWindowListener( // stop the program already!!
         new WindowAdapter()
            public void windowClosing( WindowEvent evt )
               System.out.println( "See ya later, alligator!" );
               System.exit( 0 );
      // Now add the content
      Container cp = frame.getContentPane();
      cp.add( jpTop, BorderLayout.NORTH );
      cp.add( jpBottom, BorderLayout.SOUTH );
      frame.setVisible( true );
   } // main( args )
} // SwingProblemThe problem: when you use the keyboard mnemonics to switch between the two text fields, the the character is entered into the first field before the focus is transferred to the other one.
I am currently using JDK 1.2.2 on Micro**** Win****, and am waiting for the arrival of a disc with JDK 1.3 (I don't have the patience to wait for the download of the newer JDK over the telephone line...)
For those who have JDK 1.3 or 1.4(Beta), has this problem been fixed? I wanted to know for sure before I added this to the Bug Report.
Thanks

It has been fixed in 1.3.
Sorry for the post

HT1338 I am looking to publish a web site I created in iWeb to another hosting provider. I have never published this site to MobileMe nor do I have a MobileMe account

I am looking to publish a web site I created in iWeb to another hosting provider. I have never published this site to MobileMe nor do I have a MobileMe account. Can someone please help me?

Hi Larry, no experience with iWeb, (which is ending soon), but what kind of files & folders does it make locally?
You need a Wb Hosting service & an ftp client, if you need more info reply with that & what kind of files/folders it made.

Has this site been hacked or do I have malware?
