Recently I got this message when navigating on this forum.
Am I the only one?
Title had to be 15 characters.

@George No you are not and it is coming up on two of my machines accessing the forum
I’ve just got the same message.
I have pressed the “OK” button once on one of my machines but using “esc” seems to allow a screen to come up and selecting “Latest” works but any browser refresh will mean the warning coming up again.
The individual named seems to be involved in some hacker investigations but I don’t know if there is any malicious intent other than proof it can be done or in preparation for something more sinister @DxO_Support-Team or …
Same problem for me but only with Firefox.
The problem disappeared after I updated uBlock Origin.
I don’t have it anymore. But where did this message come from? Or is this the hack itself?
George
It appears to me that the forum itself was hacked and that the problem was later corrected. None of my security measures was triggered by this. I use Firefox.
That might be it.
I also use Firefox.
But then I wonder why @BHAYT has a slightly other content in his message.
George
@George My message looks the same as yours, apart from the symbol before “forum.dxo.com”?
My browser on the machine where I first encountered it is Opera.
My thoughts were that the site had been hacked and I was worried about the “OK” button carrying a payload. Fortunately it wasn’t because I clicked on it when I couldn’t initially find a way past the message.
What I typed in to Google and what I got back as a response
Also the word ‘says’. Or is it just a different interpretation by different browsers?
George
@George Sorry I was looking at the text and then spotted the symbol but missed the “says” which does change the sense somewhat, i.e. it makes it seem as if “forum.dxo.com” is warning me about something it has spotted, sinister or what!?
No message here so far (Safari on macOS 14.7.6)
@platypus I think someone “fixed” it because it was initially impossible to refresh the screen without the pop-up popping up and then all was fine!?
At 15h25 Paris time, I phoned DxO’s main number to tell them. I am guessing a receptionist answered and I had to repeat the problem twice, but I think the message may have got through, nonetheless.

It could also have been the result of a service to test the safety of the website. In this case that failed but it shouldn’t have been posted.
