Administrator Aslain Posted November 19, 2017 Administrator Share Posted November 19, 2017 His website no longer redirects to ads (because is down). I don't like what he did in new updated mods, but it doesn't seem to be dangerous to anyones computer Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I believe that it is potentially very dangerous. The ads are controlled remotely via a known malvertising address (The IP is connected via several domains), which could install additional adware on the local machines. This is not regular ads, this is more agressive. Personally I will not install the modpack before Ekspoint mods are removed because the risk is too big currently. Quote Link to comment
Interface2037 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 30 minutes ago xSweden sa: So the website is attached to the browser process. And by displaying the ads on the website we get targeted with malvertising. I think all Ekspoint mods need to be removed til' this is fixed. Yes I think it would be safest that way.

Administrator Aslain Posted November 19, 2017 Administrator Share Posted November 19, 2017 Received a reply from ekspoint, he said his mods are safe to use. Either way I don't think his mods can do any harm, I was checking it all for a whole night... Quote Link to comment
Administrator Aslain Posted November 20, 2017 Administrator Share Posted November 20, 2017 So I've got good and bad news. The good is that ekspoint mods I updated today aren't trying to access his ad website and stealthy download bunch of unwanted stuff (ads and their scripts) while you are in a hangar. The bad news is that he's not intending to stop adding that ad stuff to his mods, so his upcoming updates will be most likely packed up with hidden connections to ad website. Quote Link to comment

UncleJohn Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Aslain, you need to include a note in the installation about ekspoint have Ads and it IS NOT secure to use it. Quote Link to comment

His mods that are in newest modpack versions have no ads currently. His latest updated mods are however conneting to his website, but they don't display any ads. In short: ekspoint mods in latest modpack are secure. Quote Link to comment
