A Shocking News for Millions of people around the world!

September 4, 2016 is undoubtedly a remarkable date for millions of people around the world. The so-called "Queen of PTC", Clixsense that has millions of members got into trouble.

I myself was shocked when I opened the site. I was redirected to an adult site. At first, I thought my laptop was compromised since previously there was an ad that when I clicked, a file/script was downloaded to my computer. (But I was able to delete that file)

Then I checked other sites and it was fine. I cleared the cookies/cache/history to see if that will help but still I am being redirected to a gay porn site. Then out of curiousity I search google to see if others are also experiencing the issue. Then I found this one:



So what exactly happened? Well, someone with a hacking skills (probably a gay!!!) took over the DNS of the site and changed its settings. The admin confirmed that:  Message of the Admin

Hello Everyone, first let me apologize for the issues today. Over the last several weeks we have been the target of a hacker who I believe first created the bot csadviewer and then moved on to submitting ads that when a viewer opened an attachment that popped up they got infected and their PC was compromised. Today, this hacker changed our DNS to a wonderful gay porn site. They removed our websites and email and of course with it being Sunday its hard to get any support. My phone has been ringing off the hook and my email blowing up. Please do not call or write in. We're definitely aware of this problem.

PLEASE NOTE!!!!!

The ClixSense servers were not hacked and all of our servers are still intact and your account information was not effected. As I said above, its a DNS hack. It may take a bit for the site to come back online due to propagation but it will be back as soon as possible. I have a close friend who works with the FBI Cyber Crimes who I will reach out to later today and let them know as we're going to open an investigation on this.

Again, I am sorry this happened and it's certainly not the way I planned to start my Sunday.

Thanks

Members if any of you are experiencing issues with the site such as unable to view ads or your getting a redirect please do the following:

Can you please hit CTRL-SHIFT-DEL (all together, you must hold each of the keys down) on your keyboard. Then in the window that opens clear your temporary internet cache including cookies. (Click temporary files and cookies).

Alternately if you have the program ccleaner from www.ccleaner.com you can run this instead to clear your temp files and cookies.

Thank you

I followed the instructions, and I was able to get into the site.  :) Praise God!

I'll post an update every now and then, so stay tuned!
