Fake Adobe Flash Installer Pop Up on Pages. DO NOT CLICK OR INSTALL!

We are diagnosing the possible cause / issue and will update when we have some more info or resolution. If you haven't already reported the issue in this thread, please add your experience -- including the browser and device you're using. Thank you for your patience.



Hope the admins read this and check on it.

There is a popup that looks pretty legit asking that we install a new version of Flash. However, this isn't an Adobe URL. Also, wouldn't think that Flash is still used and not to code this site.

Has anyone else seen their page get taken over by the request to download and install a new version of Flash?

I'm using a Mac as well, so not sure if it's exclusive to me or everyone.

Point is, be careful and always check the URL of any link or software installer.

If that thing is real, certainly looks suspicious.

I had it pop up on mobile. Obviously suspicious. Immediately backed out and reloaded the page and it wasn’t there on a refresh.

I've been getting one telling me my virus protection has expired on a couple of threads. Funny thing is my internet provider includes this as part of my package.

Checking and monitoring this. Thank you for reporting.

Was so weird, see I'm not the only one. I just refresh the page and it has come back periodically. Think I started noticing on yesterday.

Did a public thread in hopes to catch some of our members attention before clicking on the fake flash installer.

On a MAC, haven't seen any of this, but I do use Avast which checks any pop-ups as well as downloads.

Those who have experienced this, can you please post what device and browser you were using when seeing the pop-up.
