Opera homepage spotted redirecting visitors to Blackhole kit

[A Guy]

If you are an Opera user who hasn't changed the browser homepage or has visited Opera's Portal homepage (portal.opera.com) on Wednesday, you might want to check you computer for malware.

According to Bitdefender, the website in question has been redirecting visitors to a page hosting the infamous Blackhole exploit kit for at least a few hours.

That's why google is my homepage for every browser :3

I changed my Opera homepage as soon as I installed Opera, and have ran a few scans since then, so I'm quite confident that I'm safe.

Funny you say this

I got rid of Opera months ago not because it was bad or something it was really good

Just never used it much just like WaterFox i started collecting alot of random Browsers so i ended up getting rid of it and staying with IE, FF,GC ftw

No problems here either. I don't and never have, used the "default" home page of any browser I've ever used. Not even my beloved Opera. So I guess that makes all three of us!

Windows seven forums is my homepage on windows and kubuntu forums on kubuntu.

I have secure Google as my homepage. Very few pages load faster then Google

Since switching to Opera a few months ago my homepage has always been "about:blank". Actually, that's been my homepage going back to IE6.

I use about:blank as my homepage.

Opera is a very good browser, but not every site plays well in it. I do not do any banking or shopping with it. However, it's one of the fastest browsers out there. I like having a choice.

Used opera before but had issues with some sites I used,then used ie10 for a while but lately it's been having some issues with crashing and use to use firefox but it's a bit slow and uses a lot of resources imo. Using Chrome at the moment even though I don't like the UI too much but it's quick and hasn't gave me issues yet. When ever firefox fixes the issues with it,I might go back.

my homepage is Clubic : Actualit informatique, Comparatifs, Logiciels et Forum but, I use it more as a bookmark button more than anything since I prefer Firefox to remember what were the last opened tabs.

I use about:blank as my homepage.

This. When I'm not restoring my Firefox session with 140+ tabs.

Opera seems to have some issues with Twitter, and sometimes with the tutorials on the forum such as the Repair Install tutorial :huh:

Odd, I'm not a twit, so can't speak to that, but the Repair Install tute looks fine to me. A Guy

I can confirm that Opera is not rendering some pages correctly. Perhaps John (z3r010) could offer some suggestions on the best way to report this to Opera. I'm not sure of the terminology to get the point across or if Opera would need any other info/data.
