lxer.com has been compromised for years and it’s barely gone without mention. Is it due to a lack of popularity or something? The website doesn’t have a valid SSL certificate and has been prone to URL redirects for a long time. I made a thread on there a long time ago that they should secure their website, but nothing came of it. If you do use Lxer… Don’t. Getting redirected to an advertisement or dodgy website is minor, but what’s not minor is visiting the lxer page, everything appearing normal and you login with your username and password. What you don’t realise, is that there could be an invisible overlay right over the “username” and “password” sections you have just been typing in, and that’s been sent off to who knows where. Don’t use Lxer.
