Gunto Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I was playing Fashion Fever earlier, and a window pops up asking me for my username and password. I simply closed the window. Then I go to Kass Basher, and it comes again. I remember seeing something like this a few months earlier, but is this one any different? Of course I did NOT enter my info, due to the fact I know it's going to be malicious. NOTE: Usernames and other info were removed for account safety. Anyway, does anyone know exactly WHAT this is?

Spritzie Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 What browser are you using? I use Chrome, and I had that start happening to me last night. I have no idea what's causing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunto Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 I am using FireFox. Neither do I. Could someone be spreading a password stealer across the site or whatever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 It's been happening for a few days now. It's something to do with an image on their server, afaik. Just hit the X and carry on. Malicious, it is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunto Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Alright, thank you! Yeah, I simply hit "Cancel" when I saw it. Like I said, thanks again for the help! Good to know it's not something to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephoniekali Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I started getting those messages yesterday after I played a shockwave game. Now they're showing up on every game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clairekundinger Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I haven't gotten those at all and I play on Firefox and IE. So it might be your computers :guiltysmiley: Should I be worried about trojans and things from neopets? and are there really people who enter their passwords? *forhead smack* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamppost Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I haven't seen that at all, but then again, I'm running NoScript in Firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseykins Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 It's been happening to me too. I was just about to post a new topic when I saw this one. I never entered my info or anything I just refreshed the page or clicked cancel. I first noticed it on Faerie Bubbles last night and again this afternoon and now I got it on the new neopian battles game. I'm glad to hear its not malicious! For the record I'm using chrome as well.

antiaircraft Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 This is actually unrelated to JavaScript, and not malicious at all. :yes: In fact, it's not even asking for your username and password. TNT uses HTTP authentication to protect some images and other files they don't want people accessing before they're released. Occasionally they forget to remove the protection before releasing the files, which triggers the authentication prompts we've been seeing. So while it's good that people don't enter their information into these dialogs, they're really quite harmless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempdisplay Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Yeah, I use Chrome and have been getting that. I changed my PW everytime ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Score in Blue Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Yeah, i haven't gotten those but my friend has so, it's good to know that they're not bugged or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babblebuth Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Woot! I have been having problems with my computer lately and started to see these windows. I freaked because I thought it was a virus.Good to know I am not the only one getting them and I will continue to close them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuroida Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Did they fix it? I use IE and I've never gotten these messages. Neither does my friend who uses Firefox.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I think it's been resolved. I only had this happen for a day or two. I haven't had any issues in 4 or so days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunto Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 I'm pretty sure it's been cleared up. For several days I haven't see it since, so I'm sure TNT got reports of it and it was removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user221 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 It's in the Support Center about how certain images weren't moved to the correct server after development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
