Windows 10 effect?

Post by 911hillclimber »

Suddenly, DDK will not work/open on my pc.
The main banner comes up but none of the sections, ie Forum.

Is this the effect of Microsoft dropping the support starting this month.
It sometimes states DDK is not a secure site.

DDK all works on this iPad.

Any ideas?
Local computer shop says I need to upgrade and also buy a new pc system..

Yeah your browser may be seeing it as non secure but just bypass and say you still want to view - it is secure. I’m just having to disable a few things when we get a bot attack

Thanks both.
I get messages like the system ‘checking if I’m a robot’ also on this iPad.
Good luck Thomas, good job you understand it.

What is to be gained by this type of attack?

It can be surges if AI learning bots scanning

It can be an attempt to compromise the site and gain data
