Additional Security Check

Is anyone else getting these additional security check pop-ups?  "Your computer connection and activity profile has been flagged by the system as having potential malicious intent"!

"Please verify you are a human and we won't ask you again" it claims, although I have seen it many times already, and even twice tonight! Heart eyes

Definitely a new feature!

  • Hello Mmum,

    Yes, I think loads of people are getting this, it's certainly happening to me very frequently. I understand it's being investigated and hopefully will be sorted out soon.

  • Hi folks - this still appears to be happening (and quite frequently)

    Cheers

  • Hi everyone, I'd just say not to click on any link you're not expecting even a "verify you are a human" box until the moderators check it out and eliminate the problem. 

    That's my thought anyway

  • I sometimes get a similar message and it's a word that seems innocuous to me but it can mean that there is a thought of self harm etc

  • Because I had written the words s... h..., the message appeared when I tapped on "reply" in the previous post

  • Hi tvman - yes I have seen that one but the original query is a screen asking you to prove you are human before letting you onto the forum

  • Still seems iffy to me as I posted earlier. It's just my opinion

  • Good Morning All

    This was a known issue some months ago - and I thought it had been resolved. Some Community members were being asked the question each time they signed in. I have never had it myself - how strange!

    I have a meeting later this week and will bring the matter up with Technical Support. Thank you for bring this matter up again.

    Best wishes - Brian.

  • Thanks Brian

    Happens a few times a day with me.  I use a MacBook. It doesn’t happen with my phone.

    regards

  • Thanks  

    I will pass the message on about the MacBook / Phone.

    Kind regards - Brian.
