Urgent FireFox Update redirection

[thomasjk]

Just now saw this redirection to download a fake Firefox patch from Aiquuschp.net The url is
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx. not the first time I've seen this but the first time I'm reporting it. I searched but didn't find anything similar. This was my first visit to the site today from my Laptop. Please disable the link

I had this same redirection today while just sitting at the main forum page. Different url but offers the same fake Firefox patch. I'm not seeing this on any other sites.

Thanks for the alert.

And for posting a live link to the malware. Many mobile browsers will take any text that looks like a link and be more than happy to take you to the site. Also, I've noted that the Forum software is "helpful" in turning //x.x/x into a HTTP link.

Maybe the site mods can "safe" the URL above so someone doesn't accidentally go off into the weeds?

Took the link out of public view.

I just got the same pop up. It had a different URL than the one above. Just letting you know.
