Safari Hacked?

This seems like the best way to inform them since it's a direct link to submit a bug report, but you can only do it through Safari, and you gotta get it then and there when it happens.

This has been reported to our Hosts,
along with links to this thread.

They will, I'm sure, pass it along to the engineers/sysops.

Malicious extension maybe? It is possible to hijack Safari this way.

interesting...i just did a google search on this and found this article.

HI,

*At the time, I had no idea this was a security issue*. Often times troubleshooting your AppleID keychain or deleting cookies or emptying the caches is just part of the process.

I did report it to the Apple moderators as soon as I saw your screenshot. I felt it was better to minimize any anxiety rather than to cause worry.

At any rate, it's been fixed.

Good reason for everybody to use FireFox and...

Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Then Apply

DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes. 🙂

These Servers have been patched to guard against DNS poisoning, and are faster/more reliable than most ISP's DNS Servers.

Thank you~ !! Absolutely. Allison Rhodes from OpenDNS is very supportive on Facebook. It's handy to ask them for assistance there when needed.

I just updated to Safari 5.0.1 and I got the same page "for fun Tojen" when trying to get back into the discussions page.

That appears to allow making use of a frame to call another page. The 'tojen' page was simply a text file with no code whatever. I saw it before rebooting, and I don't have any of the new extensions installed. Also I'm not using OpenDNS but Virgin Media's own DNS servers.

I just reset Safari and that seems to have fixed it.

.. the "for fun,by Tojen" exploit is still there, even with 5.0.1.

Not for me: try rebooting Safari.

.. funny.

It is there for me, too, but in Firefox, not in Safari. The only difference today is that the Tojen text is now embedded in the normal Apple header and footer. Yesterday it was just the text.

same for me - hasn't happened to me yet in Safari (knock on wood), but i just checked Firefox, and it is happening there as well...

but yes, yesterday it was just a blank white page with "for fun by tojen" text....now this time, the apple header is at the top.
