Strange behavior of Google Search results for Highscreen in Google Chrome browser
A strange thing happened in the world. Using the Google Chrome feature described in the Not Closable tab article in Chrome (November 23 at 2:00 pm) - zhovner , the attackers, through Google’s search query, brought to the website Highscreen.org, a not unknown company Vobis, opened their page with money requirements. Through Google.com search in the Chrome browser you get to the scam site . Tested on the Beeline network, MTS and Rostelecom, on Chrome under Windows and under Android. Everywhere in the Google Search and Chrome bundle, the attackers website opens . The link from Wikipedia.org leads to the correct version of the site.
The answer from HighScreen:
Hello.
Yes, there was such a problem a couple of days. At the moment, programmers have eliminated everything. If you suddenly encounter this problem again - write. ')
Thank you for contacting.
Marina.
A check on the same day gave the following picture : Those. The problem is clearly not resolved.
Better to do in the browser without important tabs.
Please check for other phishing options on Chromium and other browsers.
To close the tab, turn off the Internet and update and then close the tab - @ trilodi - @ imnement
To launch Chrome Task Manager, press SHIFT + Esc
Checking for IE, Opera and Firefox with the latest updates did not give this result and the transition to the site was carried out normally.
The test involved Windows Chrome, Android chrome (Boost and Nexus4 , 7 2013 )
Reason for publication: I did not find information on this phenomenon on the Internet. The letter with reference to the post sent to Vobis, so that they also understood.
The problem is observed in the transition from the search results Google on the link to the site Highscreen.org in the Google Chrome browser and has not yet been confirmed for other browsers with the same engine.(What's up with Chromium?)
The server itself is highscreen.org who makes a 302 redirect. Works in chrome forks, does not work in FF. - nikitasius
