Mods; can you email your warning to members directly ? It might prevent a costly mistake for some.

As soon as I saw a link and the word "download " I deleted the email. Secondly, I'd find it odd if any moderators emailed me directly.
Honestly, the first thing I thought of was Wallace.
I doubt it was an insider (or banned ex-member) though...an insider might've taken more care to make it seem authentic.

On the upside...this little mostly-non-incident was a good reminder that I'd not updated my password in quite a while (and that the one I had was pretty vulnerable).

Yeah, I woke to the same email and immediately came to PE to verify.

You guys really need to e-mail everyone in your database about this. Not everyone is a regular user and you cannot expect them to come to the site and find out it's a scam. (It's not even on your home page.) Be proactive about it. And, yes, you should get an SSL cert for the site.

Lets be clear though you were hacked. They emailed me at an email address I only use here. As a web developer I use a different email address on every site.

This. Type in 'Progressive Ears' on Google and it actually says 'This site may be hacked'. It is redirecting to something called 'My File Store' if you access the site via Google (which I usually don't anyway)...this was flagged up in the forum long ago and yet nothing changed, it's still doing it now. Worrying.
When I looked this morning (in the UK) after reading this alert there was no e-Mail and now I see I have one, seemingly sent only two and a half hours ago. So is this still going on?

Yes, we still get this message:
"Malicious site warning.
This site may be hacked or contain malicious software. Visiting this page may be harmful.
Opera Software strongly discourages visiting this page.
Why was this page blocked?
Reported by Yandex. Our fraud reports are maintained by third-party vendors."
Yandex is a Russian service that also has their own web-browser.
Silly me - thinking there was the possibility of porn involved - clicked on the links.
Saw the warnings here, checked and saw the email and moved it to the trash folder. Thanks!
Good Morning...
First of all - my experience here has been the same as some of this threads comments. I noticed several weeks ago, in blue type, the comment 'This sight may be hacked' when I first Googled ProgressiveEars to get to this sight. When opening the PE sight, I too would get directed to 'Firefox'. My apology for not saying something a while ago. When I went to Progressive FORUMS I did not get re-directed. Thought little of the hack possibility since that discovery.....
This, along with sooooooo much advertising and 'click here' aspects of the modern day sights (sometime just to navigate the cursor is a chore) , has me quite frustrated with the internet at times!
Good to see this scenario being addressed.

Shit, I'm almost tempted to go to Snake Oil just to see bricks being thrown at Svet. Almost.
I agree that there should be massive email sent to all members just so everyone is aware. Chrome is telling me the site is not secure. Then again it does the same for me on Metafilter, the Hoffman forum, etc.

I recall a story, years back of a Russian hacker being discovered and beaten to death with a baseball bat. it was as gruesome a murder as could ever happen. I've quietly wished this death upon every attempted hacker since then.
Thanks for staying on top of this.
reminds me of a few weeks back. My wife got a call from a woman saying she worked for the IRS and they were going to arrest her if she didnt pay them $5000. I took the phone from my wife and said: "yes who am I speaking with?" The voice responded "we are the IRS and you owe 5k in back taxes". I said "This is officer Shrek from the FBI. Please give me your badge number..."
... click.
We had a good laugh. and no repeated calls
I got nothin' :
...avoiding any implication that I have ever entertained a cognizant thought.
