Yes, I am silly enough to be playing Mass Effect 2 on the ‘insanity’ difficulty setting. I got stuck on a single fight this week that took about four hours to get past. Why am I enjoying this? Frankly, I have no idea. It is a superb game, but I get the feeling that on the hardest difficulty setting the main tactic is to find useful ways to break the game’s AI systems rather than actually fighting with greater skill… And yet I still enjoy it. Weird.
See you Friday!
Mata, I’ve been getting AVG warnings on your site for a couple of days, referencing “exploit script injection type 1702”. Is everything ok?
I think there had been a script injected onto the SQL database of the script running advertising. I’ve deleted the whole piece of software and the related databases to be on the safe side. This is probably using a sledgehammer to break a walnut, but it should nuke anything that is causing problems.
Please let me know immediately if you see anything like this again. It seems hackers have really been stepping up their attacks over the past few months – I’ve taken a lot of steps to make this site more secure which should have cut out a lot of the biggest problems, but where there’s money to be made dishonestly then there will always be people with spare time to try and break things to get it.
Like I say, let me know if you have problems again, but I think I’ve nailed this one for the moment.
Hi Mata,
It still appears to be trying to download a PDF infected with “PDF/Exploit.Pidief.PDS.Gen trojan” from 6780.in today and previously from 9237.in
My anti-virus is catching it, but I thought you ought to know there’s still a problem.
Adrian
Thanks. I’m banging my head against this one and not getting very far, but trust me I will definitely keep on going until I’ve fixed it. Thanks for the info, keep it coming!
