On November 22, 2010 we learned that our web page had been hijacked, and some people trying to view the web page were being re-directed to a fraudulent web site. This behavior was not affecting all users, and was specifically targeted toward computers running Internet Explorer on the Windows XP operating system. The scam was targeting computers that might not have up to date software, and therefore would be more vulnerable to malware. This underscores the importance of keeping your computer’s software up to date, and always running anti-virus and anti-malware software on a regular basis.
This problem has been fixed, and we hope that it will not come back again. If you have recently tried to connect to the NCC web site and been redirected to another site, we recommend that you run a full virus and malware scan on your computer to make sure your computer was not infected by the fraudulent site. There are many free products available online that can perform this type of scan if you don’t already have one.
In the future if any visitor to the NCC web site experiences odd or suspicious behavior, please alert us immediately by sending an Email to our contact Email address: info@neahkahnieclub.org.
We are extremely sorry for any inconvenience that this issue may have caused.
