If you have tried to visit the FreeDOS archives at ibiblio in the last day, you may have seen a message from your browser that ibiblio is serving malware. I was notified of the problem this morning, and before I reached out to the ibiblio administrators I saw that they already knew of the problem and have apparently fixed the issue. But it may take a few days for ibiblio to get unblocked (most browsers use Google for malware-site checking, and it may take a day or so for Google to re-verify the site).
Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I was aware of the problem. So is ibiblio. Looks like the ibiblio web server was pushing an iframe that distributed malware. Doesn't sound like files on the archive have been messed with. But of course I await to hear further news and analysis. I'm sure ibiblio will have "fun" over the next few days as they do their own security analysis to see how to plug whatever path people used to tamper with the web server. jh ' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
