IE/Edge Popup for User/Password to Virteq.com


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I got a report on a popup being received from IE/Edge for Virteq.com asking for your username/password.

Do not enter your information, I need to review this in detail, as I'm not sure why it's occuring.

It appears to be limited to IE/Edge, I do not see it on Chrome or Firefox.

 

EDIT:  Adding that virteq.com is a site I know, it is the site where I got the skin for this site years ago.

 

If you see a popup like this, please just cancel it.

More to come as I know more...

Sorry I should have added virteq.com is the company that made the skin for this site, so I know the site, I just am uncertain as to why this popup started.

Either Microsoft upgraded Edge or the OS to have more stringent rules for their browser security, or there is a problem with that site.

If you go to their site, you'll get hit by the login dialog.  Just started on Safari.

The site skin has:

http://virteq.com/profile_picture.png

Buried all over the place as a branding of some sort.  Their site is whacked, now asking for authorization to access it, so when the URL is called, you get the authentication dialog.

 

You need to strip that out of all of the CSS to make the dialog disappear, or do a local DNS redirect to dead-end it someplace.

That's what I was thinking.

I removed the offending code.  Tested on Edge and do not see the popup anymore.

The code was a Javascript for embedding the skin creator's logo and name (for credit).

If anyone see's similar popups anywhere, please respond to this topic and I'll remove it.

I'll be looking through the code to see if I can find it anywhere else, but I only found one place in a global template, which I removed.

 

I'm guessing their site got compromised or they implemented some new authorization scheme that extended to all external references.

Any site using their skins (not just this site, nor just this skin of theirs) will be impacted by whatever they did.

 

Again, just to repeat, the skin was a verified one to use for this software.  There was no hacking of this site.

 

If anyone did enter their user/password credentials, I would strongly recommend you change your password.  This would be your Windows credentials, not your site credentials here.

It may have been affected by the Amazon S3 service outage today - especially if it only just started happening several hours ago. I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow its fine. You'd be amazed at all the places that are using Amazon AWS as part of their backend infrastructure (and are thus beholden to their services remaining available!)

Still getting it on my Mac

 

In Safari go to Preferences->Advanced.

 

At the bottom of that screen you'll see a checkbox for Show Develop menu in menu bar.  Check that box and close the Preferences window.

 

You'll see a new menu between Bookmarks and Window named Develop.  Select Empty Caches from that menu.  Restart Safari and see if the dialog shows up again.
