Some believe it is connected only to navigating backward.
It is not. There are thousands of users for whom the redirect to the hacker site is instant and happens as soon as you open any page at Rendo. It happened to me yesterday. I could not read anything. Not the front page, not the store, not any thread in this forum.
People like that are unable to come in at all. They cannot report what is happening to them. Is that clear or not? There are thousands of users who are unable to log into rendo at all, and as a consequence are unable to TELL us this is happening to them.
I was able to figure out how to block the hack myself, and now I'm here. I was NOT able to read this thread in order to learn to block the hack - I had to figure out how before I could even see this thread.
The problem is much bigger than it appears to those who are talking here.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
