I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but anyone else have this pop up?




Don't think I have any weird code (don't know enough to get funky with it), links to outside stuff, other than the pictures we normally post here from popular hosting sites...

Heightened security on the servers that the forum was migrated to? I did use a phrase relating the cost of an axe to a car payment... and a reference to WWI

Probably serve(r)s me right though... Karma filter...
 
They were migrating the site to new servers yesterday. Might have something to do with the large number of spam posts lately.
 
I received a ransom popup when I clicked on the site...scary.....turned the computer off right away and it didn't reappear...shortly after the site shut down for a few hours.

Ransom - Like one of those, "we encrypted your files until you pay us"?

Or Random - Like for no reason that you can see?

Maybe there's more than on reason for server migration?

I prefer "Random" errors...
 
The message seems to be referring to a precived SQL Injection attack attempt originating from the client aka your computer and browser session. I wouldn't worry about it too much. It is one of the most commonly used malicious attacks used for client server applications and often sites will check data being transmitted for what might be attempts. I don't see anything that points to SQL Server or what type of database the site is using in the error. My guess would be MySQL rather than Microsoft SQL Server.

The ransom pop-up is a different story. Like SP said they had scheduled maintenance over the course of the night leading into the morning. Likley explains the strange behavior.

Sorry if I geeked out too much there.
