    Earlier today, we noticed a security issue on the site that showed a malicious intermediary page to visitors. This page asked visitors to update their browser to continue viewing the content.

     

    There may have been different messages, depending on the web browser used. Firefox users, for instance, may have seen a “you need to update your browser to view the content” notification and an “update Firefox” button on the page.

     

    We reacted quickly to the security issue and have resolved it. The investigation is still ongoing and we are still in the process of validating the site’s databases and content.

     

    We would like to ask anyone who interacted with the malicious content to scan their systems with up to date antivirus software. Some options include Bitdefender Antivirus Free, Avast Free Antivirus or the built-in Microsoft Defender on Windows.

     

    We will share additional information on the issue once we have completed the investigation.
