iPhone SE Apple Australia website compromised?

[mpainesyd]

I just looked up the price of the iPhone SE on the Apple Australia website using Firefox 45.0.1. It came up with a Flash warning (I have a Flash blocker) and some text in Russian. Did not happen with Safari.

This link might be compromised!

(DO NOT CLICK IT)

Your computer might be compromised because I've no issue loading that page with my MacBook and iPhone.

It's not the site, it's you, mate.

I also found the site to be ok. I think its something on your end and not Apple's

I used FF 45.0.1 and, like everyone else, found no problem.

If the site were compromised, both your browsers would show it, not just one. Apparently your FF browser has been compromised. I suggest running something like malwarebytes on your system as soon as possible.

Malwarebytes reports no infections. Here is the warning banner:

I tried disabling the Flash Control add-in for FF and enabled Flashblock and the same warning banner came up. I will try reinstalling Firefox with these tips:

That looks like a browser hijack.

If you haven't re-installed FF yet, as malwarebytes suiggested, a "refresh" might fix the problem more simply.

A FF refresh will remove all add-ons but keep your bookmarks. How to do a refresh is explained here:

That's a legit Yandex.Market (market.Yandex.ru) info-banner that comes with a Yandex search extension installed in your browser. That's a Russian price-comparing website run by our biggest search engine. Why would it be on your computer in Aus.. Installed any torrenting software recently? That usually comea bundled with plugins for various websites

Thanks for this and Jetsam's advice. Hopefully a refresh will fix it! Seems a bit bizarre that it only occurs when i load the Apple Phone SE page.

The Refresh worked - thank you
