• Is GameBanana compromised again?
    6 replies, posted
About a week ago MalwareBytes started blocking GameBanana out of nowhere. I can just add the site to my list of exclusions, but I wanted to know if anybody heard about anything lurking on the site lately.
When wasn't it?
WOuldn't say compromised, someone just uploaded a virus (as it's a file hosting site) [t]https://jii.moe/BJ0w4u9_g.png[/t] [url]https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/195873-gamebananacom/#comment-1099984[/url]

i remember years back when one of gamebanana's ads or something had a rootkit in it. infected a whole lot of people just for browsing the site, and even forced me to reformat the hard drive i was using at the time. haven't dared to touch the site since. are we looking at a repeat of that, or is it just an infected file someone uploaded?

That reminds me, for some reason I got an email from GamesBanana a little while back, despite not going there for at least a decade and haven't even subscribe to the "keep me updated by email" bullshit because I never do that with any site.
