Web Trends Reporting Center?

[jipsy]

Every time I click on a button before it takes me to that screen, I get a popup box called Web Trends Reporting Center asking me for my username and password.

I just cancel it, then it takes me to the screen I want.

Alex, did you install something you didn't tell us? Because I don't give that out to anyone. Or have we been hacked?

 

[WendyZ]

I getting it too! Glad I'm not the only one.

 

[Auntie Bon]

I'm getting the same message. I thought it was something wrong with my internet access here at the office.

 

[jipsy]

By the way, the IP at the top of the box says it will connect me to 198.65.141.50. When I run a trace, it's someplace called Verio.

What is going on?

 

[jfulcer]

I'm getting this also.

I'm hoping they haven't installed web tracking software on the site, I'd really be unhappy with that.

 

[cinmell]

Me too! The boards were really slow for me all day. Now they are faster but with that pop up box.

jipsy,
I'm getting the same thing. It's really weird. I have never gotten anything like it before. I, at first, thought that something new had been done and I started to put my information in then thought as you did that it was someone trying something funny. I don't think it says anything about the DIS board does it?

 

[TigH]

It just started happening to me too! GRRRRRRR~

 

[mickey65]

Me too.

 

[Dodie]

Thank you for posting this! It's driving me CRAZY!!!! I can cancel out everytime, but it's just too weird!

 

[marlasmom]

I'm getting it too. I stupidly tried typing in my name and password but I just got the pop-up box again.

 

[StampMom]

Glad to hear I'm not the only one this is happening to! How annoying -- somebody please make it stop!!!

 

[WDWHound]

It looks like a password fishing scheme to me. I would not type in the information it asks for until Alex or someone else from the DIS gives us the all clear. You can get past the dailog box by hitting the cancel button.

 

[tiggerlover]

It's happening for me too!

Hopefully someone in the know can fill us in soon.

 

[jipsy]

No, it says nothing about being related to the DIS. I hope no one is giving out their userid and Password

 

[Annie&Hallie'sMom]

What is this crap? It's not a good day to make me mad!

 

[jipsy]

I'm afraid it is an actual business:

Actually that IP goes to www.wernertech.com. It looks like a new web venture for Pete. It's 'Destination Marketing'. Check it out at:

So now ya'll are going to track our every movement on here even more?
