Blue Magnifying Glass Icon

[TNJAKE]

Just noticed a blue Magnifying Glass Icon on the forum. Clicked it thinking it was a shortcut to the search function. It takes you to a website called slick stream. Does everyone have that or is it just me?

Not on my pc version, don't use the phone for any forums

I'm on mobile but random icons that lead me to believe it's part of the forum search but instead takes me to a foreign website makes me feel very insecure

I don't see it on my phone or laptop. Beware!!

I do not have this icon on either my phone or desktop.

Yeah too late for me to beware lol. Looks like a forum feature so I clicked it. Not happy about that

It is on my tablet so it's not just you Jake. It's on the lower right side. Thanks for the heads up, I won't poke at it.

Hmm.......I see it on the PC here at work and also on my mobile. Well for sure not gonna tap on it! Thanks for the heads up.

I don’t see it at all on my screen on any device.

I'm no tech expert by any means but I do believe that is a form of social engineering called "water-holing". From what I understand, following that link can allow hackers to plant cookies, upload malware to your device, etc., then access all the data on it without your awareness.
I've been getting alot of spear fishing emails lately that relate to sites and products I use regularly. Be careful and keep a close eye out on your accounts..

Funny how George Orwell figured it out a LONG time ago when he wrote 1984. Big Brother is watching you!

It's gone now

 

[clifish]

It's gone now

That is because you already downloaded the new Chinese balloon virus...lol

Don’t have it here either Jake, but that’s not to say I won’t.

Doesn't show up on my PC (I don't go on the internet on my phone unless I have to...too small to see!).
