problem with adware redirect to iyfnz.com site #262

Hello, we seem to have a problem with a redirect from the cdn.bio.sh file call.

Our site is redirected to the following site: http://iyfnz.com/?dn=bio.sh

We believe (though are of course not sure) that this is connected to the MSAViewer we are using for our web-site:

slim.php: <script src="//cdn.bio.sh/msa/latest/msa.min.gz.js"></script>
slim.php: <script src="https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/cdn.bio.sh/msa/latest/msa.min.gz.js"></script>

Since it is the only web-site that is doing this re-direct, there might be a problem with the code. Any help would be appreciated.
Note: we have checked our system for adware carefully (all of them) and it is not a problem on the client side.

Thanks for your help in advance,
Bianca Habermann

I am really sorry, but I haven't been maintaining this project for several years now and I didn't renew the domain.

Maybe you could update the README saying that the project is no longer supported, and remove all links to the spammy CDN?

Amazon appears to have removed MSAViewer due to the malware. If you need it on your site, download and locally host http://web.archive.org/web/20190530174338id_/https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/cdn.bio.sh/msa/latest/msa.min.gz.js or http://web.archive.org/web/20220120161943id_/https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/cdn.bio.sh/msa/latest/msa.min.gz.js (this second link is after the malware infection date for the non-Amazon CDN, but still appears to be safe I think).

You'll also need to change "at"in t to "on"in t in the downloaded file, as described here: #257 (comment)
