Tried to get onto Flashpoint's site this morning to order some more NVA and couldn't access the site. Is it just me or are others having difficulties? Cheers

Works for me too. I'd offer to steal your business at ScaleCreep.com but I'm pretty near sold out of the entire range! |

Hi Alcibades, I heard on the jungle-drums that you'd had a problem with the Flashpoint site. Can't figure what it might be… contact me here if you still having problems. admin@flashpoint-miniatures.com We have all the 'usual' spam issues I'm sure every website has , and at least three serial-pest IP addresses that we 'track' ..but as far as I know the website has had no problems. Please let me know if/how your experience is different. Cheers ! Happy Gaming ! |

Just had a problem too…..virus software ended up blocking the site due to some sort of 'black hole' problem or something…most strange |

Just checked again.
As it tries to load page the virus software (AVG) comes up with a box that says that 'Accessed file is infected'
It states the threat is "Exploit Blackhole Exploit Kit (Type 2704)" Looked on the AVG site and it says:- What is Blackhole Exploit Kit? Blackhole Exploit Kit is caused by a code that can be hacked into a webpage. When you browse to a webpage with Blackhole Exploit Kit, it will identify and make use of the vulnerabilities in your internet browser/plugins and force adware, phishing programs or any other type of fraudulent software to be installed on your device |

Norton the same only web attack: mass injection is the warning. |

Hi team ! …Yes I became aware of this on friday afternoon here in Aus …just before this long weekend ! I have scanned and mal-wared the Wordpress site …and revealed nothing. A bit of research further suggests an app to the host server to do with Wordpress is the likely source/site of any 'infection'. A bit more Googling suggests it is a 'false-positive' response,(/virus?)to updated Symantec anti-virals (I get the same message as Marc33594 on my Norton-protected laptop)..my other computer (with latest McAfee and anti-malware) has no problems.!! Anyway…will be onto the Webhost tomorrow and will get it sorted.
…This is what they don't teach in "Miniatures Manufacturer" school. LOL ! Cheers ! |

Hi All !, webhost has sorted problem/removed virus. All locks and keys have been changed. Apparently a deliberate hack to a Wordpress plug-in, that is designed to give the impression of the virus that directs you to 'exploit-kit' hosted sites. In short it's meant to look real scary, but it's function is to trip your anti-malware into blocking the site. …a "denial-of-service" virus if you like. I've just done a Sucuri scan , and I'm still 'blacklisted' to AVG and Sophos, but Google, Norton and the rest declare me 'clean'. (Of course…if I pay Sucuri $90 USD they will lift my blacklist, but I'm happy to wait.)
BTW this Deliberate hack happened on the Friday of our article in the 'Campaigner' e-magazine ! Yet another timely coincidence.! …I wonder if this has anything to do with our main competitors in 15mm Vietnam miniatures ? LOL. ! |

Jimmi Norton just blocked me out also. Says some kind of web attack. Still got good inventory of stuff for any one interested. Also will be set up at HISTORICON 2013 (July 18 – 21). 2013 with Cotton Jim's Flags. |

 , I'm AVG, so still can't get on it, oh well, I can let my lead mountain stay at this level for a while!

| badwargamer | 14 Jun 2013 2:29 p.m. PST |
Actually looks like I can use the site, just get loads of threat blocked messages popping up! |

Hi again! …Yes we got hacked again !
I just came back from visiting Sydney and saw a pile of messages/emails …thankyou guys for the heads up. !
Have found and fixed the problem (another Denial-Of-Service 'virus') as of about midday today (about ten hours ago),have upgraded everything and got more and new anti-malware etc etc layers happening. Think I can see where/how they got 'in'.
It is still opening for me no problems (I have Norton on my laptop)
Should be all good ! Give it a try and let me know if you have problems… Thanks for all the kind attention/advice !
….All the best ! |
worries about not losing his rules stuff.
