Minecraft Username: @purplelegoender Brief Description: Well when you click to apply for a medal rank etc It will not let me, it logs me out of the forums telling me that I must be logged in to do so. So I did this and tried to apply once again and it did the same thing. I understand another user experienced this yesterday @zr2002 Okay, @JamieSinn when it logged me out of the forums and onto the log in screen a little thing pops up and u click on it to exit it out and it says that their is a Zeus virus infecting this website as well as your computer, also it says that its a serious hacking virus but im not so sure.[/USER] Their are no real procedures to this as all you do is click to apply for a medal, rank or a town claim and it will log you out.
I clicked the app, it told me to login, i logged in using that screen and it processed me to the app.
That didn't work for me, as it wont let me log in as I'm already logged in, its a glitch or something. I close all the tabs on FireFox and open it again and go to the forums and I'm logged in. I honestly don't understand what is going on here.
Okay, @JamieSinn when it logged me out of the forums and onto the log in screen a little thing pops up and u click on it to exit it out and it says that their is a Zeus virus infecting this website as well as your computer, I'll edit this into my report above as well.
Also once again I tried applying on my phone for an application and it logged me out as well so this is not a computer or phone problem it has to be forums related as well as when you click on an application link it opens another page and that page has things completely unrelated to Ecc
-edit- Clearing cookies might work but you've got a bigger issue on your hands with that Zeus Trojan.
No, its not on my computer, I logged back in with my password(somehow I was entering it wrong) and now I can access everything. But, certain things on Ecc are blue and highlighted and if you hover over them, a ad pops up which is weird
From Wikipedia: Zeus, ZeuS, or Zbot is a Trojan horse package that runs on versions of Microsoft Windows. While it can be used to carry out many malicious and criminal tasks, it is often used to steal banking information by man-in-the-browser keystroke loggin and form grabbing. That Zeus malware is definitely on your computer, if it's opening new pages for forms, asking you to log in, and saying that "Zeus has infected this website"
Yes, I looked it up as well and seen this, though this is only seen on the forum log in page. As well as I scanned my computer its not on here as well as how would this affect my phone as well, that makes no sense. But, for now the problem is fixed so I suppose this is over, maybe the other people who had few problems with this as well may want to say something.
You're phone is equally as susceptible to viruses like Zeus. This is a little outdated, but still relevant to the situation. https://www.theguardian.com/money/2011/jul/22/smartphones-hacked-zeus-malware Just don't put in passwords or click on random links on public Wi-Fi networks.
Alright, I should be fine for now. Thanks for helping with this, though I am still suspicious because mission had this same problem so would that mean he has this to?
I had some kind of the same problem, I had nothing pop up and ask me for stuff, I am also running a Mac with protection, which i know they can still be targeted, but not as much. On top of the fact its only this site thats its done it to me on just that on 2 links. Its just weird thats all. I changed my password after everything happened and did a full scan on my computer, made sure my virus protection is up to date.
This issue should now be fixed, if you continue to experience random log outs be sure to reply here again and let me know exactly what you did prior to the random log out.
Bump Issue has re-arisen tonight for me. When clicking links that open to new tags on old topics, it seems to log me out.
Whenever you click on the Sg stats and you click the EcoCityCraft button to the main forums, It signs you out.
I cannot reproduce this. If anyone has any steps that makes this happen constantly let me know. @JamieSinn I doubt there is anything we need to do here correct?
