Coincastle.de authentication request
« on: February 21, 2015, 08:46:34 pm »

I was browsing the forums when suddenly a www.coincastle.de authentication form popped out at this page:

http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=36256.75

My theory: it is a imagehosting somebody posted a picture from. However, it's better safe than sorry - I'd appreciate if someone could do some testing to see if it persists, and is not an evil malware. Thankyou.

P.S: Firefox  35.01

It seems to be the avatar of a user, Warlord of Woe, which is hosted there. I'm guessing there's a configuration problem with the server, because it claims that authorization is needed to access that file.

The dialog itself is shown because of that, but you can really only just cancel it. At any rate, there's nothing malicious going on here.

I've wiped the avatar from that account.  It's 3 years since they were last active so I doubt they'll notice.
