Nginx powers several high-visibility sites...

Nginx is safe, it's a server program used on about a quarter of the busiest websites in the world. But: I couldn't reproduce the welcome on the AH homepage using three different browsers.  It's possible that some crap-/malware is using the same name. A malware scan wouldn't hurt, use the free Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (http://www.malwarebytes.org/) for example.

It looks like it is coming from you own computer.  Our server is clean.

 :eek: Could it be a virus? I'm on a Mac. It's normal again now, only lasted ten minutes and I didn't do anything to fix it.

http://www.valuewalk.com/2014/01/apple-inc-aapl-computers-still-affected-flashback-trojan/ is still active.

There is another one out there.  I'll try to find the source again.

EDIT: http://malwaretips.com/blogs/your-browser-has-been-locked-fbi-mac-os-x/ another one.  Still not the one I read about the other day.

EDIT1:  Another one: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/19/apple-java-update-mac-download-security_n_2720300.html Still not the one I am looking for.
