Has ESO site been compromised?

FalcomithFalcomith Member UncommonPosts: 831

I turn on the client this morning and it tells me the NA servers are down for maintenance. I go to the eso website to see if there is an announcement or ETA and AVAST kicks in and says...(see bottom right hand corner of screenshot)

    I went to my guild site and they said they are doing maintenance and is being reported to last until midday sometime.

    I'm not getting any errors on the website or client wise.  Just getting the message that the NA megaserver is down until midday EST (EDT).

    Thanks. Probably some false reporting error from avast. I am doing a full system scan anyway since the game is down. You can never be to careful these days when it comes the the internet.

    Possibly treating their site for the Heartbleed bug...

    If you have a subscription with any of the major AV companies, they should have sent you a tool either yesterday or this morning that can be used to check web sites.  Unfortunately, AV cannot completely block the effects of Heartbleed since it runs as part of the OpenSSL cryptographic library and it's not a virus - it's a bug.  Individual websites nust treat their sites themselves.

    Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heartbleed for some details or just Google "Heartbleed".

    Lots of webservers will be shutting down "for maintenance" in the next few days; don't be surprised.

    I just went to the site and avast did not go , "Ding, Ding, Threat Detected" Could be something you have in your avast settings. And make sure you don't have maleware fighter on. For some reason it does not work well with avast and it will give you, "Threat Detected" all the time.

    ROFL if TESO has not fixed that by now its been almost a week , that is sheer negligence period

     

    its a 2 year old bug and there is hacker software out there

     

    you allow via negligence my account to get stoen that is 70 bucks plus the pain and suffering i will put up with fixing that

     

    in fact i signed up well after the govt of canada's CRA had come up...it takes like 5 minites to fix this...if you dont have a sysadmin worthy for this kinda subbing , it bodes extremely bad

    so i doubt this is the issue. IN fact you could allow play and setup the fix and bring down propogate and test and if goes well then back up....which it should

     

    please do not throw out stuff unless you actually have facts....it doesn't make anyone feel good that for a week we've been playing all our accounts are vulnerable especially when there is hacker software to mine accounts

    I think you just went way off topic and are assuming too much. Also I had to re read your post twice. Seems I had to do a double take on that note. Your post made almost no sense at all lmao.

    Whatever the issue was causing AVAST to sense a threat, it has stopped. Thanks for the responses.

    Nope. I just put Maleware Fighter back on my PC and went to the site and it gave me, "Threat Detected" so I uninstalled Maleware Fighter and went back to the site and avast said nothing. No threats, no nothing.

    So everybody is getting paranoid about nothing LMAO.

    Remember when Maleware Fighter would prevent you from playing Aion and the such? Pretty much the same thing. Plus you don't need Maleware Fighter if you have ADBlock or ADBlock Plus.
