Title: Malware Notification? (Resolved)
Post by: snoofington on December 27, 2020, 04:03:26 AM
Hey guys!
This is probably a misattribution from my own Antivirus but thought I'd see if anyone else was experiencing anything similar.

It specifically regards URLs that still use 'silenttragedy.net' as opposed to 'citycyb.org' which means it pretty much only affects the Phony Pets at the moment, from what I can tell? Any time I try to visit those URLs or even view the images on the page, Malwarebytes is like "hey that's a Trojan" and blocks me from being able to even look at them when they're embedded into a page.

If this isn't an issue for anyone else that's cool, I'll deal with it lmao

I have same issue! I simply changed all of the image links I had to citycyb.org with a https and everything could be viewed (so that I can now view my uncerts), but I still can't view images that use silenttragedy in their URLs.

@snoofington

Yes, elvy asked about this in Discord as well and the solution is what Wyrm posted crylaugh; rest assured there's no malware!
We switched domains a few years back for Phony, but left the files on silentragedy.net since we hadn't been able to update all the old links. Since then, we added a security certificate to citycyb.org but not the old domain, which results in the security alert, especially if they're embedded on a website with a security certificate.

All the images should be exactly the same on citycyb.org as well, so just replacing the domain url and changing http to https will not freak Malwarebytes out. So sorry for the trouble and having not updated the old links /stares sadly into the void

Thank you for posting, this should be helpful for anyone else nabbing our old URLs too!
