I have seen this on some other sites, but not so far on gbatemp. Basically, someone writes a long blog post and then when you're sitting there reading it the exploit tries to directly connect to your computer. I'm not sure how it works, but my DNS server went nuts after visiting the blog about 'reality' that has been ongoing here (the DNS server crashed a few times due to heavy outgoing requests). It seems a reboot got rid of the exploit. I have a pretty hard system to crack; so nothing was comprimised (that I know of). Just a heads up. I run my own DNS server so I could see the connections, but if you don't believe me go ahead and try it. I've seen this many times on certain torrent sites (in the same under blogs) in the past couple of weeks so I think it's a new technique.
I'd love to see some logs of these hacking attempts from this site.

I guess it is the problem then. I use Windows 10
Or just nuke it from orbit with an ion cannon (aka format the hard drive).
On a more serious note, it's pretty unlikely for a text-based blog to do such a thing. There's probably some other explanation.
someone probably got into your network another way. and a few hours? dont leave your PC on the internet unattended for a few hours.
Or seriously look into your network's security. If you can't leave your computer alone without it getting wretched, that sounds like a serious problem on your end.
Just to humor you, I checked each posts source in there. Every single post in that blog is plaintext aside from FAST's first comment, which has a single hyperlink.
Either a rogue ad loaded (unlikely because we go out of our way to get unintrusive ads, which tend to be on ad networks/groups with fewer issues like that overall), or more likely, you have a problem elsewhere that just so happened to rear its head at that time.

inb4 its your DNS thats dodgy maybe get someone substantial like a VPN mr *pretty hard system to crack*
mines rock solid then since i never got these issues and i dont reroute my network
It has been common knowledge for years that GBAtemp blogs are a cancerous virus!

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

SylverReZ:
They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+1 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
