Warning now irrelevant, as the site is now clean.

I've personally looked into it and verified that this information is indeed correct. The site in question allows users to upload sofware, including malware, which could potentially spread from user to user like wildfire. So, if any of you notices one of our members using that particular host, please kindly point them to this thread, or let me know so I can explain the issue to them. Let's try to keep that host away from RKC to keep everybody safe! Thanks!

Now, it seems that MalwareBytes have lifted the block on the domain, as I can see images normally from it now. I guess this makes the thread's purpose now irrelevant. Still a little dubious but.

Thanks for the warning! I recently created an account on this website because it was a recommenced host for this kennel club I'm in, I guess I'll just use another site! Blimey, I need to warn the people in my other forum about this.

Don't need to know, because I already declared that the warnings are over in my previous post. No need to panic now. Unless there is something still fishy going on with it. Ratqueen, can you please confirm this?

Are you sure? I would still be suspicious of it, even though Malwarebytes has lifed their block. I did a scan and found a few Potentially Unwanted Programs on my computer so I don't know if it was from IMGBB or something else

When MBAM had applied the block to it, it only blocked your access to it and all URLs containing the domain, hence why some images of that domain seemed "broken" for some. Also note that this only happened when a certain file uploaded there was laced with malware and that when all the panic started.
The presence of the PUPs you'd gotten might've been from another source, and I don't know for sure myself. It's not as if just accessing ImgBB would fill your hard-drive with these, would it? Accessing a dodgy site written in Chinese/Russian however, very much so.
Hopefully we can get an update on this shortly, from Ratqueen's research or if someone else can come up with a definite conclusion on the matter.

If Malwarebytes is no longer blocking it, then that's good enough for me. You can edit your first post and subject to reflect that.

Good call. I've also double-checked its status with VirusTotal just there and I'm happy to say that it is indeed clean now, when all other AVs have said to. Feel free to lock this thread now, if you wish.
