Did anybody else see "likes" appear as Russian flags this morning? God, I hope I'm being paranoid about this. It was just for a little while this morning, it seems to be back to normal now. But I captured this screen shot this morning. Did anybody else notice this? The same thing happened in threads when I pressed "like".

Edit: Actually, it's not back to normal. It seems to be going back and forth from appearing as the Russian flag vs. thumbs up.

No, I didn’t see it. Good catch though.

That is highly bizarre but there are a lot of Russian hacker trolls that would do stuff like that. I'm guessing it was directed to all forums using the XenForo platform.

Myself and Russian hackers approve of this message.

Is this coming from my computer or the website?

I'm not seeing them on my end so maybe they've wrested control of your computer!

Well fork. Any suggestion on what I can do to fix it?

I'm not seeing any other odd happenings/effects on my computer.

Not much other than general security tips. On top of an anti-virus program there's stuff like NoScript.
