NPU site

I tried to look at the video downloads in the resources section of the NPU site, but google has it flagged as an infected site.

http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?client=Firefox&hl=en-GB&site=http://www.pipers.ie/home/Resources_DownloadVideos.htm

Does anyone else get this?

Google Safe Browsing is a Firefox module.

I had the same experience this morning, and have notified NPU of the issue.

As long as we’re on the topic of viewing media at the NPU site, has anyone had any problems viewing full-size images of past issues of An Piobaire? Every time I try to open a single-page image, the new window gives me nothing but a little box with an “X” in it where the image should be.

I’ve upgraded to the most current version of Adobe, turned off all pop-up blockers, and shut down my firewalls, but still nothing.

I’m trying to locate a copy of the notation for “The Humours of Castle Bernard” (sp?) from a few years back.

I’m have the same problem with the NPU site; its infected an “attack site”!

Does anyone know if the problems is being corrected?

Want to pay my renewal but somewhat reluctant to put my
account information on it.


Thanks … Ed

It may be awhile before google clears the site - it hasn’t been rescanned by google since the initial problem report. As I surmised in another thread, it was probably flagged due to bogus content or a bogus link injected into the forum somewhere (i.e. user-generated content). As far as I can see the offending content has since been removed, i.e. no user-generated posts from the relevant time window appear on the Forum.

It pays to be cautious, but bear in mind that these sorts of warning can easily be triggered without a site actually being compromised (note that the google report did not claim that the NPU site itself hosted malicious code, but that certain web pages caused malicious code from another site to be loaded. In such a case it is less likely that the account or payment process on pipers.ie has been compromised.

Appears to be working just fine for me, was watching some of the videos this morning actually.

I just logged in to confirm that the problem with our website has been resolved.
It was not actually infected, but there was a residual effect from a previous incident that had not been properly tidied up.

While logging on, I noticed a posting asking other contributors to this forum for solutions to difficulties on our website - specifically, not being able to view back issues of An Píobaire.

Might I suggest that if users have any problems accessing any part of our site that they ASK US. Our contact details are readily available, and that’s what we are here for.
