The recent weeks a number of our users have reported that they are sent to various spampages when clicking search-results to our page from Google. The spam occurs after the user arrives at the page, and the spam is only apparent the first time the user clicks the Google-link.
Today a user reported that the same issue occurs on another vB 4.2.X-site; http://forums.audioreview.com/. We have confirmed that the have the exact same issue.
By other words; this is a specific vB-issue and needs to be addressed immediately!! I am astounded nobode else has reported these issues, and as the exploit has been active for more than a week now our site risks getting blacklisted if it is not resolved shortly.
I did consider upgradring to vB 5.X to "solve" the issue, but as 5.0 neither has support for dBSEO (that actually works very well for us after a lot of tweaking), no Norwegian language pack and probably is very challenging to install, this is really not a feasible solution for us.
vBulletin - please look at this serious issue shortly and e-mail me at lygren @ avforum . no!
