SgCollins Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 While checking out lockon.ru tonight, my computer was hi-hacked to a fake site. I could not get all of the information, but there was something about "snake oil" in the address bar. I had to disconnect my machine from the web and reinstall Norton System Works. What ever happened corrupted Norton Antivirus. I am using Firefox just now to post this and view the web. I haven't tried IE again yet. Might be just my problem, but I thought it might be good to let some people know, just in case. Regards, Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4c Hajduk Veljko Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I don't know if this is a phishing treat. This is the message I got when I tried to log on with Opera browser: - The server's name "lockon.ru" does not match the certificate's name "www.lockon.ru". Somebody may be trying to eavesdrop on you. - The certificate for "www.lockon.ru" is signed by the unknown Certificate Authority "Snake Oil CA". It is not possible to verify that this is a valid certificate Thermaltake Kandalf LCS | Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R | Etasis ET750 (850W Max) | i7-920 OC to 4.0 GHz | Gigabyte HD5850 | OCZ Gold 6GB DDR3 2000 | 2 X 30GB OCZ Vertex SSD in RAID 0 | ASUS VW266H 25.5" | LG Blue Ray 10X burner | TIR 5 | Saitek X-52 Pro | Logitech G930 | Saitek Pro flight rudder pedals | Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiskeyRomeo Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 It was not hi-jacked to a fake site. More details in this thread (which is missing a title) http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=7268 The SnakeOil certificate is supposed to be testing certificate for the Apache SSL Mod. What you're seeing - the warning - is because ED hasnt yet got a unique certificate from a real CA (certificate authority). Nothing sinister going on .....

GGTharos Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 And there's no real reason for them to get one from a 'real CA' which jsut costs time and money, and means little.

4c Hajduk Veljko Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 So, we should then install this certificate?

GGTharos Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Just accept it for 'the current session' ... that should work out okay.
