FPL main website got hacked?

Post by Captain »

Today I was visiting FPL to update some account info. By using it I realized that the site was sending me to some advertisement page that has been flagged as scam or phishing sites on IE/FireFox/Sophos Firewall.

By analysis the code, I found that, in xywindow.js (See attached image):
It will create a clickable empty image, where it will send user to: "https://www.freephoneline.ca/pdf/safe.html", and then redirect the user to some scam or phishing sites.

According to the script, this image will be created 5 seconds after the page is fully loaded, and then disappeared 30-35 seconds. This image will be created to the right of the screen (See 2nd attached image, where highlighted empty area on the right).


I have been using FPL long enough, I love what FPL provides. However, I have never acknowledged that FPL/Fongo have any affair with those scam/phishing sites. Therefore I suspect, it was hacked.
Of course, those advertisement could be added by FPL/Fongo to earn more $ for the company, in that case I can only suggest users not to click on those websites and DO NOT download any file there if you want your computer to be clean.

Support ticket also created: #211271, I am hoping to have FPL/Fongo resolve this issue asap if it was not intended to have those.
