Just a query here, and I realize there's some sort of "secret handshake society" on A.org and there's some benevolent factor named "Tedd" or something.  I'm not much on drama and backstory.  I am asking about security of my personal data.  If I understand it correctly, A.org and DiscreetFX are joined at the hip now.  DiscreetFX being the guys behind this new "Amiga Marketplace", iirc.

This DiscreetFX.com four alarm security fire when you even peruse the front page have been going on for AGES.  Months.  Seriously.  It's nothing to do with Google.  There is a handful of trojans embedded and 4 different security packages today showed me that again.

That being said, I don't visit websites I feel are dodgy.  I will not be back to Discreetfx.com - the last time I was there I wanted to buy Aladdin, but my security software lighting up like 50 cops at a keg party prevented that.  New anomaly today when I went to check it out again.  Nothing personal.

I do not mean to slander these folks in any way, I merely am curious regarding the security of Amiga.org and the very brief amount of personal information I keep here.  If Discreetfx.com and Amiga.org are run by the same admin/server entities, I have my concerns.  I have only hit a handful of security issues on A.org itself due to the google ads, but I do worry about it getting worse.

Thank you,
Duce

They run on different servers and different hosting providers.

Super, thanks for the clarification, Transition - and my apologies if I came off a bit snippy.  I imagine all the DiscreetFX team is eager to get it sorted out.
