Advisory provided by"i got the same too.
maybe it has been hacked

wow, im not the first to find this problem lol.

yesterday i went to www.google.com (http://www.google.com) & searched Badminton World Federation & it sez 'enter at your own risk'. So i exit google and just went to the website directly & nothing happened, just a lil lag lol.

This doesn't surprise me. I have occasionally been experiencing some very slow load times with the site and sometimes message in the status bar "Transferring data from [site]" has some very suspicious-looking SPAM-style site names. Virus software hasn't complained, though.

I just checked, the site it transfers data from is hhipthr.com. What would that have to do with badminton? The first time in a day that I access it, it nearly hangs my computer. I just got the "virtual memory low" error.

A couple weeks ago, I got hit with a really nasty password-stealing root-kit trojan when I tried to go to the Yumao Club website. Used my plethora of PC security software to remove it, but not without ruining my registry. Had to reinstall windows.

Here's the fun part: got a call from my bank this week that my debit card and PIN had been used to make a fraudulent deposit & withdrawal from my account. Had to go to my branch to get a new account. Not fun.

Wonder what will happen if BC gets infected..

Well, I posted a problem with the site a while ago, but there was little response.

whao the BWF site got hacked and sends you a trojan? thats not good at all

the old bwf site had no problems..

that's nasty!!..hopefully it can be fixed in no time..

Same here. I checked current ranking from this site recently & a message poped up asking if I wanted to install or block a small progrom called "ie-le.exe" etc. It was very suspicious & I blocked the installation otherwise it would have been my computer being bombed.
Take care!

Probably its been hacked

Not sure if it's been hacked, but the site does act suspicious.
My firewall even picked up from the bwf website a suspicious app that wanted to do some keylogging :mad:

Now, it practically hangs my computer when it's Transferring data from glasthr.com

The workaround I use is to bookmark the rankings page and never visit the homepage. This seems to work.

event, what's the ranking page address ?

..appreciate for letting all of us know abt this!:cool:

what's the ranking page address ?

Hi Loopy,

The BWF World Ranking page address that I have been using has no problem with it. Probably because I have bookmarked it? :confused::confused::confused:

Yes, I go to it via my bookmarking. The address is located at:
http://www.internationalbadminton.org/ranking_ms.asp?id1=1

Cheers... chris@ccc

The BWF World Ranking page address that I have been using has no problem with it. Probably because I have bookmarked it?I would certainly say that's the reason. I access the site with the basic ranking page (http://www.internationalbadminton.org/ranking.asp) but then I can use anything on the site without it grinding to a halt or showing me that it's accessing some obscure, dangerous-sounding website.

I think the problem with the site is limited to the homepage. Possibly the hacking was specific to the new photo gallery or video clip function or something? I'm not sure but it's when the site is opening those that it starts to download from glasthr or hhipthr or whatever.

i think its a bug,

boohoo.. it's really sux...
i was just trying to browse this site and i got this on my screen....
i m wondering whether BWF have someone maintaining their site/server.
:mad:

As a precaution, I browse the BWF site only on a Mac.
These malicious executables are all Windows malware ;)

It's amazing that these people don't maintain their site.
A visitor would assume this is how the BWF manages badminton as well :(

hmmmmmm........ not a good sign. Ask them to pay me to maintain it man. cheap cheap...

hmmmmmm........ not a good sign. Ask them to pay me to maintain it man. cheap cheap...

yeah man.. really not a good sign... not only becoz of those viruses... i think its web design also not that good...
they really need to budget a little bit amount of money to make it look more professional.... i don't mind to 'help' out :D

Just an update on this. It seems to me that the BWF has been doing some site housecleaning. I don't know about any of you, but I have been finding intermittent instances of entire functions missing and then they come back a few days later. For example, a few weeks ago all the archived results were missing and the links completely dead. Now some seem to be back. Yesterday, no player histories were available at all and now they're back.

However, the big change is that Google no longer is listing the site as suspicious (http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?client=Firefox&hl=en-US&site=http://www.internationalbadminton.org/). It says "the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 09/09/2008." Good news. It has even given Firefox a site-specific icon that is now in my bookmarks (Firefox 3, on my other computer, gave the site a "no entry" sign icon)

By the way, moderators, could this thread be merged with this one (http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59126) as the topics are identical?

..the folks at BWF have been reading all the complaints in BC..:cool:
