Earlier today, Curse was notified by Google that there was a known malicious script being served though some of our sites. Upon further inspection, Curse has determined the script was being served through ad placements from a 3rd party. These ads were being served as they normally would; however, due to a security breach at the 3rd party, a malicious JS (Javascript) was being served that was put in their passback system.
We have managed to identify the 3rd party, who is well known to be trusted, as the source of the script. They have been contacted about the compromise, and have removed the malicious script being served to not only Curse, but possibly everyone with whom they work. They are still investigating the breach.
Curse takes security extremely seriously, and has removed all 3rd party ad partners until the investigation is complete. We will keep you informed of the outcome of this investigation. In the meantime, we recommend you run a malware scan on your computer. You can run a free scan at http://www.malwarebytes.org/. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.
At no time was any information in our databases compromised - your logins, user info, and all other personal information is safe and sound! We will continue to monitor the situation, just to be on the safe side.
I was wondering why I had to reformat about a month ago... Shady dealings
fwiw we've never had any confirmation of malware being delivered through our system before; if you ever suspect this website or any other curse network site being infected please contact me immediately and I'll push it to the higher ups to be investigated. Malware is absolutely not something we want to have our users exposed to; it's just shady advertisers responsible for it. We gain nothing, it just destroys our reputation
This problem has taken a big impact on the communtity as well as mod makers people who are trying to get into minecraft this Issue will be marked as a annoyance at google that means not gonna be fixed for a while

Retired StaffYeah, Firefox has their own version of the page. They (google, mozilla) all seed from the same database.
I Solve practical problems
Hopefully this issue gets fixed. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go load up Spybot to make sure nothing bad happened to my computer.
Same, using chrome too.
I'd rather do something constructive.

Curse PremiumThe strange part if it's an issue with an advertisement, why am I still getting it even though I use AdBlock Plus?
