"Deceptive Site Ahead"

[PrincessLillie]

So, I was casually browsing GBAtemp, and suddenly this pops up:

What We Know
This error only appears on the normal desktop version of Chrome.
This happens on Windows, Linux, and Mac
All of FileTrip is blocked because of "phishing"
FileTrip results are omitted from Google search, but not other search engines
GBAtemp.net only gets this warning on specific posts, such as the "Starfox 2 already dumped, and it sucks" thread.

Ain't nobody got time to look through the entire thread. I barely have time to finis

xD hahaha! 10/10

One thought I've had :
When coming into a thread with a signature image uploaded to filetrip, I got the red screen and it warned about filetrip (not gbatemp). Now, if it would be ads that were deceptive, shouldn't it warn for whatever server that ad is hosted on instead?
Or is it fine to host deceptive ads, as long as it's only others who show them?

Hmm...

I was actually testing to see my signature was the issue. I decided to upload it to imgur instead and made this thread, in an attempt to test that. I heard back from one person, but I was hoping more would start commenting on that thread to see if they got an error on a new thread of mine using a different host.

I saw in another thread that that was the case. Go into a gbatemp thread, red screen warning about filetrip, go in anyway and check source code, only occurrence of filetrip was a signature.

I'll check your thread on my computer in a moment!

I am still rather confused as to why Costello and I both aren't having this issue.
Cool! ^-^ Please leave a comment with your results. I am wondering anyone still having an issue with this thread is just a cache issue or not.

It might be a windows issues, maybe something isn't parsing correctly on the SSL check, maybe certs. If so, that could be a problem.

gbatemp is a virus.

I haven't gotten once any of those "deceptive site ahead" warnings

Neither in one of the 2 computers and a virtual machine I use for coding

 

[Yepi69]

Chrome - Windows 10

I never had that problem.

I have officially "tainted" that thread with an image from filetrip. So it should give an error when going back to that thread.

Sure did taint it! Red screen now!

Nice! My experiment worked!
Right, so this is very clearly an issue with filetrip and doesn't effect everyone. It's also an issue that carries over to other sites when filetrip links are present on the site.
This is quite the pickle, but something I will unfortunately have to leave to Costello to figure out. At least I was able to narrow down the issue here on the Temp by confirming the connection that the issue was my signature.

 

[Deleted User]

Can confirm, the other thread has been tainted!

Damn filestrip ads Certain threads and Filetrip downloads are triggering it big time now, I'm baffled, who or what the deuce flagged it in the first place? Google, I love your browser and YouTube, but you sometimes make dumbass decisions.

gbatemp is a virus.

Nah, just the 3DS hacking section.

 

[Termer]

Has anyone heard from a site maintainer or dev? It would be nice.

FileTrip is also blocked on Firefox, except it doesn't seem to affect GBAtemp pages that link to it.
I suggest everyone report it as a false positive like I did. There's not much else you can do.

If filetrip is used for hosting pirated files etc then of course its going to get flagged and blocked.

Oh, was it hosting Starfox 2? That might explain some of the situation.

Lilith hosts her sig pic on FileTrip. Any thread she posts in will bring the red warning screen of doom lol

Lillith signature and no error on 4th page. Weird. It's a random error or something?
Oh i just noticed that chrome hidden the "Dangerous" symbol. no https, lame.

I highly doubt it unless GBATemp had some DDoS attacks. [Which I kinda don't believe in]

DDoS attacks are not breaches.
It's possible that FileTrip has simply been used to host malware by one of the uploaders. I doubt there's been a breach.
