Someone embedded the “1812 Overture” song into the background with a dazzling animated picture show. This reviewer gives it 2 thumbs up!

Unfortunately within a few moments the whole site came down. It’s unlikely it’s due to this attack, and more like the forum is so utter and complete garbage (despite the administrator Theymos accepting over $100k in donations to upgrade it) it probably just simply collapsed from having a several meg file in the header.

See the video below for the whole thing in action.

This is by far the mosthilariousthing to happen in the official BitcoinTalk forums, ever.

Someone hacked the forums and injected some code that, among other things, causes a bunch of Bill Cosby popups, simulates uploading of a wallet.dat file, changes all avatars to images of Bill Cosby, and even changes the word Buttcoin to Cosbycoin.

You can see the hilarity yourself by going to the forums and waiting about 5 seconds for the comedy gold to flow.

Here’s a sample of what’s going on.

Better fix this right away!

Forums have been shut down for several hours now.

EDIT: I just got an email from one of the admins “Sirius” that this was mostly likely another Adobe Flash exploit.

We’re looking to the incident right now. We had to take the site offline to protect any further malicious activity.Luckilyit seems like a simple Adobe Flash exploit, and we’ve cleaned up most of the offending code and .swf files.

The exploit he was referring to had this information from Adobe’s site.

This vulnerability (CVE-2018-COZPOP) could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected server. There are reports that this vulnerability is being exploited in the wild in targeted attacks via a Flash (.swf) file embedded in certain website forum software, delivered as an emoticon or “smilie” in the forum software. At this time, Adobe is not aware of attacks targeting Adobe Reader and Acrobat. Adobe Reader X Protected Mode mitigations would prevent an exploit of this kind from executing.

Make sure to browse safely guys.
