On these sites, why are there so many Untrusted certificates.
It's almost like these sites are trying to harvest information or install malware
certificate not trusted
Malware is that advanced that, it's impossible to block everything. All you need to do is change the code very slightly and then it's a different variation that could be left un detected. Also it depends which OS your usIng.
I think it's Windows 7. I turned off the auto-updated about 5 years ago. I just noticed a few days ago when I was googling around that Google stopped my searches and started asking for a captcha code.
From the sounds of it and what you have done, your machine sounds to me as if it's massively Compromised. I wouldn't run a scan I would format and reinstall the operating system. Specially if you've been digging round threads like these. Don't tell me you also use chan sites?
If Google is asking you for captchas the chances are your machine has been turned into a bot-net - c2c server
To put it bluntly from a Sysadmin point of view. We forget. They have like a 6 month + time frame, and usually we're too busy solving shit to handle the notes on what we did six months ago correctly. Just saying that it could be an idiot in the pipeline of their servers, or an overworked tech monkey. In any and all events though, it's not good.
That defeats the object, you're just accessing the site via http not https
Ie not secure, so if your not using a sandboxed environment your advise is very bad

Why do people default to this kind of behavior? I just don't get that.
▼ ScientiaPotentia
Not secure site. Flagged.

OP - take down this link and post the archive link asap.
▼ HarleyDavidsonRider
So what the fuck was that link ? People trying to steal personal info ??
▼ salinaslayer
Alefantis did have a soundproof van on his instagram, if we can connect that van to these crimes he's done
▼ MWcrazyhorse
It tells me "this connection is not secure". Anyone else get this message? I am in Germany.
▼ VieBleu
Can you archive the article please? I'm getting that it's a less than secure website when I click. thanks. Edit: saw it down below.
This is a good catch - weird crime in a van.
However, I am not seeing where it was a string of assaults, but I didn't watch the video, only read the article.
▼ Yuser_Manuel
Some sites are calling it the "booty gang". Here is an ABC article (doesn't refer to it as the booty gang": http://wjla.com/news/local/man-allegedly-robbed-raped-at-knifepoint-by-2-men-in-popular-northwest-dc-park
▼ MolochHunter
Am i missing something -how is this one incidence a 'string' - (I didn't look at the dodgy site link but read the archived pages)
▼ Beaucephus
They have the van and they have a garage to pull into in a nice quiet alleyway.
▼ IlluminatiKing
Oh god. Alefantis and his boys have finally lost it.

Can I get some kind of blocker for that stuff? I'm sort of technology unaware.

I guess I need to get something and run a scan.
Thanks for the reply.

▼ Orange_Circle
I don't actually use the Chan, but when they were discovering a lot of the initial info I read there.
▼ Devious1
Yeh sorry, I seriously wouldn't trust your machine. I'd switch it off and use something else in the meantime. But obviously you do what you wish.
▼ Orange_Circle
It's off for now. Thanks for the heads up.
Reckon I'd better see if I can find the cd to re-do it.
▼ Devious1
If you do redo it get a decent AV and don't turn off Windows updates.
No worries about the heads up, it's just your digging around in the pizza stuff and there are a lot of bad folks about

Because its costs money.

It's nbc washington though. You can visit the site without the security warning but the security warning only appears on this article of theirs.
