I site I visit regularly was subjected to a ddos attach yesterday - I couln't reach the site this morning via my browser bookmark button - got a page unresponsive message.  I noticed that the url looked odd - the .com portion of the address was missing and appeared to have been replaced with two forward slashes ("//").  Did a search for the website (duckduckgo) and copied and pasted the address into a new browser window, reached the site successfully.  There I learned that the site had been subjected to the ddos attack, and another user mentioned in a comment that the url he used had been changed to a "directory" - no other detail.  The nonfunctioning address was the one stored with my bookmark - checked that with a mouseover.  Is it possible that an intruder altered the address??  I thought Webroot would catch something like that.
Hello and Welcome to the Webroot Community!

 

It's nothing to do with WSA as your browser settings are messed up so try to reset the browser and things should be fine afterwards. Also if you need further help please let us know which Browser you are using.

 

Thanks,
