Post by: Peter Morris on May 12, 2012, 11:10:02 AM

Luke/Brandon,

Not sure whether there is any cause for concern here but everytime I hit the home page now this message comes up..

Name: Virus found Script/Exploit.Kit

Im no computer wiz but i thought it was worth a mention.

Yep, that Nomad image which Pete links has a redirect exploit virus attached to it.

Hi guys,

I'll look into this.

The image is an absolute reference to the Nomad site, it should have nothing to do with GTP.com.

I'll remove the reference and also advise Nomad.

guys, nothing to worry about!
the new nomad webpage is running on wordpress and they got hacked.
I did have the same problem on half a dozen blogs I run.
it is just a redirect script that was injected into the wordpress code.

Luke, you should inform nomad about that problem ... just in case they are not aware of that problem.
