erfectplan:For me, it lasted part of the afternoon and all night, starting at about 3pm local time (my time zone is GMT + 9 hours) and by midnight the Akiba site was still being hijacked and I gave up trying.
The Akiba site started to open and after a second or two the Akiba site was then hijacked over to "http://friends.dormitory.com/1/welcome9.html" - pressing the browser's back button took you back to my home page (Google).
This morning from 4am, all is working fine again

This redirect happened to me, too. (btw... my own n00bie Hi's to everyone!). The only issue I'm having at this point is that I can no longer access certain forum pages that I had no problem previously viewing (namely the GIGA Collection pages).
I'm glad that at least the redirect has been dealt with. thnx to admins for handling so promptly.

Yes, the same g****m site that tries to run a script EVERY time I come to the site. Been going on for at least two months. Just happened again. Write to Chompy about it.
And now, add "AD.ADBRITE.COM" as the latest hijacker. If you don't have good, updated anti-spyware software, assume your every move (and possibly worse) is being monitored.
WTF is going on?

Well, I see three possibilities, the last of which is highly unlikely, the first possibility is where my money is.
The most likely, IMHO, is that some type of plugin or spyware has infected your browser. If you don't have it grab Spybot at www.safer-networking.org/ and run a check on your system and immunize your browsers,(browser must be closed during immunization). Browser attacks are made possible mainly with scripting such as javascript which has your browser executing code from the sites you visit. The web bug could have been picked up anywhere and not necessarily here.
It is slightly possible that this is some type of redirect from your ISP but I highly doubt it. If your ISP wanted to block this site you would get a 403 message. You could try surfing here using the webproxy located at http://www.hidemyass.com/ which should bypass any block or redirect your ISP has in place.
If anyone had hacked an admin pass and installed any nasty script I would really be surprised and perhaps shocked that all they did was install a web bug that occasionally shows up for only a few members. As a matter of fact I would love to know how such a selective bug of that sort would work. So basically I would rule this out as a possibility.

I'm using Firefox + Noscript, blocking everything but the akiba-online.com domain, and never saw any redirect/hijacking.

Hi everyone

I was using Firefox at the time, then I tried windows Internet Explorer and the same thing happened but
