Very odd...

This has just started happening but every time I refresh RetouchPro's main page or hit the title link above I get a paypal certificate acceptance box. Anyone know why?

Edit to add: It only happens then and doesn't complete loading the page. It's fine if I click on a thread link.

Seems to have sorted itself out now.

I'm a bit concerned about this as I have been reading up about phishing and pharming. Did anyone else experience this? Does RetouchPro have a certificate? If you accept Paypal donations, do you need a certificate?

Ziaphra,

Same thing happened to me earlier this morning. I wasn't logged into Retouch yet; just clicked on the Retouch icon on my computer and it happened and then it would happen if i clicked on the top Retouch banner and then it just stopped and hasn't happened since. it happened a few times.

I am using mozilla firefox browser; what about you?

I use Opera. You didn't click 'accept' did you?

johnnieB · #6 01-23-2007, 07:30 AM

no, i just canceled and exited retouch. it happened again when clicking back to retouch and i canceled and exited again a few times and then it just stopped happened... i agree, very odd!

I just checked if RetouchPro had a certificate and this is what I got. Anyone understand what's happening here?

Edited to add: Doug, I'm sorry...maybe I should've pm'd you about this but I was concerned and felt I needed to warn others. If it works out to be nothing then no harm done but embarrassment to myself for not knowing what I'm talking about!

I just checked my firewall data, and it recorded this at the time...

Worth1000 was recently hacked...could this have happened to RetouchPro too?

Ziaphra, have you PM'd Doug yet?

Ziaphra · #11 01-23-2007, 12:26 PM

No I haven't! Oh dear...I saw him online earlier and just assumed that he had read this. Just goes to show that one should never make assumptions! I will pm the link to this page now...thanx cj!

The main page has a Paypal link on it. I assume they had a server downage or something.

Ziaphra · #13 01-23-2007, 02:01 PM

Possibly, but I did go to their secure page and all seemed ok but then I am based in the UK, so I don't know if that made a difference.

Interesting...

the domain that came up (secure50.nocdirect.com), took me to a "digital products and services" store called Asiva. They apparently sell digital imaging plug ins.
Right here in retouchpro.com, there have been a couple of threads regarding their products, going all the way back to 2002, however, none since 2004.

Since it took me to their "https" entrance, I wonder if there are problems with SSL certificates having been "miss-aligned" with their own IP addresses.

Interesting....

Asiva and RetouchPRO share a server and have the same IP address. Pure coincidence, I don't know anyone there.
