I get the same thing

click "back" and then click link again and it brings me to the actual RCT page.

Been doing this for the last couple days, thought I was the only one..

IBob, any ideas???

I've noticed the exact same behaviour. I am redirected to;

myfilestore.com

Did a little digging and the same thing seems to have happened on a number of different forums but I don't know why.

Little disconcerting!

Possible vulnerability?

I just tried the same thing. I don't use google as my main search engine so I went to google manually but I was also redirected to myfilestore, However I hit the back button and was brought to RCT without having to click the link again. Also I copied the link information and pasted it in the search bar and I was brought straight to RCT. I have tried it several times subsequently and have not had any problems. Weird.

It is a VBulletin exploit that is hitting most if not all php pages and sadly is propagating like a rabbit on crack and Monster drinks. Nothing to do with your guys computers. A LOT of VBulletin based sites have been hit.

Using google, whenever you would click on search results from rctech to go to that page it would redirect to some myfilestore.com crap. Usually hitting the back button and clicking the link again worked. It is a pretty widespread exploit.
