[QUOTE="jamesdowallen, post: 827129, member: 81356"] My hosting service (Lunarpages) is sending me helpful email. They recommend I download a malware scanner from [URL]https://housecall.trendmicro.com/[/URL] Yet when I click on that URL, Firefox says "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead ... Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for housecall.trendmicro.com. The certificate is only valid for the following names: a248.e.akamai.net, *.akamaihd.net, *.akamaized-staging.net, *.akamaihd-staging.net, *.akamaized.net" Probably no problem, but it seems odd a company specializing in security would have this flaw. So I've not gone to that page yet. What is frightening about this hack is that it really looks like the hack was done manually. Did someone use a sniffer to get my password? What is their purpose?
