Safari, malicious script, platform.twitter.com

Same here. I even went into Keychan Access under Utilities and made sure it was set to NEVER TRUST. Still no luck. It pops up on Klout.com and Deadline.com and a bunch of other sites for me. I don't know why this started. I like Safari and don't want to switch browsers, but if no one has any solutions...

I would consider trying "ALWAYS TRUST" but if this is malware or something nefarious I don't want to accept it.

Apparently it has something to do with a currently unsupported URL used by the dreaded Akamai.

https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/3938

Hadn't popped up yet today and I thought it was gone, but then I just got the pop-up again while visitng imdb.com.

So still not fixed, I guess.

Ramon and -g, does it appear to be malicious? Is it malware, or just some websites that have unsupported URLs? And how come other people aren't getting these errors? Are our computers infected?

I'm also experienceing this. I really don't want to switch browsers, but this is getting very obnoxious.

I've tried choosing "Never Trust" but I still get the message several times per day on a variety of websites.

So... nothing? Anyone who had the problem been able to solve it?

It's still popping up for me. I think it may be harmless, just Twitter buttons on certain websites trying to call "platform.twitter.com" for Javascript widgets, but how why did it start happening and why only to us? How come apple/safari doesn't have an answer.

Well, this makes me realize that Slofari, at least the versions that run on Power Macs, are no longer up to snuff. Although the OP sees the same issues on his Mac-Intel boxes…

The Adobe forums are of paramount importance to me. The customization one can achieve with Firefox Add-Ons is unparalleled.

Recent design changes would make those forums unbearable without customizing the browser. If you take a look at some of the screen shots posted in the thread below, you'll understand what I mean, especially if you access that forum with Slofari. The difference will become apparently instantly:

Bye, Slofari! 😝

If you think the Java scripts on the site starts this, why not simply disabling the Java Plugin?

Applications/Utilities/JavaPreferences/GeneralTab.

Because Jave is needed elsewhere. Slofari doesn't offer me a single advantage over Firefox, so why should I block Java globally?

Sorry, I don't understand your comment.

If you read the posts on that link, you'll see that there's a lot more involved in the customization of Firefox for that site.

Besides Ghostery, I used Grease Monkey to run afplonk!, a script that lets me selectively ignore posters, one that modifies the search box in those forums, etc.

With Stylish I run a bunch of other customizing scripts:

I did not address you, but I replied KounterKlockwise.

Sorry, Lex. I just realized you were not replying to my post. My bad. 🙂

You beat me by one minute! 🙂

Speedy Gonzalez, North of Muir Woods. 😁😁😁

I would disable the Java plugin, but I use Java on other sites.

Ramon - I'd be happy to switch browsers, but for me Firefox is painfully slow. It's funny that you refer to Safari as SLOfari, but on my computer Safari is much, much faster than Firefox.

I guess I'll just put up with this stupid pop-up until Safari issues a fix. I'm just curious as to why everyone isn't getting this pop-up. Does it mean my computer is infected with malware or a malicious script and other people's computers are not?

I only get these pop-ups on certain websites, such as cbsnews.com...
