Dan_71D Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Hi all, Went looking for long range fuel tanks for a class 20 this morning on the PH Designs website. It appears the website has been hacked as I was greeted with lots of options to purchase Viagra and other drugs. Is PH Designs still in business and if someone knows the owner, can you let them know please as I have no details to contact them. Many thanks Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators AY Mod Posted December 12, 2019 Moderators Share Posted December 12, 2019 All fine here. I recommend you run Malwarebytes on your system as you may have a nasty infection. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Harvey Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 All good on my site. Here are links to the product you are looking for: http://www.phd-design-etchings.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=25_28_63&product_id=79 http://www.phd-design-etchings.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=25_28_63&product_id=80 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuntybunt Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) Pete I think the OP is correct and you should do a bit more investigation when a user gives you this sort of information rather than just thinking “All good on my site”. Your site appears to have been hacked, when you type the address in the address bar or hit a link to it it's fine but if you try to get to it from Google you get redirected to another site, it's called a conditional hack, see this link for info https://support.google.com/webmasters/thread/4643174?hl=en. This hack appears to be fairly benign but if this has been hacked other areas of your site could have been tampered also, with more drastic results as your site security is obviously not up to scratch. I understand you don't take payments via your site but you are not using HTTPS on your checkout page and if user data has been compromised you could fall foul of the law, Edited December 29, 2019 by Chuntybunt 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold uk_pm Posted December 29, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 29, 2019 I also had the same problem as the OP, so he's not alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted December 29, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 29, 2019 Yep, going via Google appears to redirect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungrange Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Pete, If I search for your site on Google, I'm also redirected to a pharmacy website, but if I click on the link that Redgate Models posted above, then I get to your website, so I agree that its conditional on the way in which your customers try to find you. Nevertheless, there is definitely something that isn't right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted December 30, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 30, 2019 Our company website had the same a while back - This is what our support company said: Unfortunately, it seems that the website was infected with a virus that injects a script when accessing the website through Google. We are working on cleaning the files and security improvements - I will keep you posted on our progress! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbonel Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Google is still directing its users to the Viagra site, at today’s date.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dungrange Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 3 minutes ago, micklner said: It is on PH Design Services , comes up straight away on Goggle for me. No "Services" in the title - the problem is with PH Designs - http://www.phd-design-etchings.co.uk/. Still directs me to a Viagra website, although if I look at Cached data, the snapshot of the page as it appeared on 28 Nov 2019 22:12:09 GMT is correct. However. clicking on the go to current site heads to the Viagra one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
w124bob Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I'm having a slightly different issue, access the 4mm detailing section then "add to cart" a couple of items . The shopping basket top left shows items but then click checkout and the basket empties. I'm going to try a simple email in the morning with the part numbers and await a reply.

Pete Harvey Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I Have had my site looked into and there are no problems detected I my self tried the link from Google and was re directed to a Pharmacy site this has also been reported and I have been told that the problem lies with Google and the re direction by passes my site link. Below I have put a direct link to my site so if you have problems from Google use this one, if you still have problems I'm afraid it's most likely your pc that has the problem. http://www.phd-design-etchings.co.uk/index.php?route=common/home 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The conditions being from Google's search engine, with the browser being Chrome. No idea why people do such a specific hack! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that going the google search route still has issues, slightly different but it's not possible to go from "shopping cart" to "checkout".
