When I click it once i was redirected to the page that said "This site have been moved,please input your username and password". I didn't input it because of fear of hackers. When i click next again the same page appeared. I just have to log in after all i ain't a programmer. Seun come and confirmed this o! I can't even find the space to change my password.

Which network are you on? You should report this to your network. That's a DNS poisoning attack.

Call customer support. Tell them what's happening and that it's only happening on their network. If they get many complaints, they may act.

Oga Seun I'm not using MTN but I saw it too. Is it possible it's happening on all networks? I use etisalat.

No URL was shown except for the www.bad..in on the box. Exactly as it is on badex516 post above. It only appear like a pop-up ad asking us to login.
Re: Attack By .in Affects Nairaland by Idrismusty97(m): 10:58pm On Aug 08, 2014
I haven't seen it when viewing any other website. This is my first time seeing something like that. BTW this is one of the nairaland URL bringing up such pop-up. Click for yourself you might see it.

I saw the same thing when I was using Wi-Fi. I think it has nothing to do with network.

Appeared twice for me. I use airtel

Ok, it's not a DNS poisoning attack afterall.

It looks like a Javascript injection attack. Someone embedded an image that links to a javascript file, and on some primitive browsers, the contents of the javascript file are executed. This really should not work since the image tag should only accept and display images.

Those who have experienced this problem should please post the following information:
1) Your device (e.g. Retine Macbook Pro, Blackberry Bold 2, HP 620)
2) Your browser and version (e.g. Internet Explorer 6, Google Chrome, Android Browser, Mobile Safari)
