Problem with chat window - fraudulent website?

[chris_uk]

I went to the chat window and entered my nick but was then taken to a different website which said my Java plugin was out of date.

The problem is that the website is extremely dubious: [code:1]http://www.autopartswarehousei.com/GB/?s1=DuseEMERTgB3fXMBAAAAAGQLcAAAAAAAAgABIAYAAAAAAP8AAAABFoz9UgAAAAAAGKSGAAAAAAB.rokAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABgkBYAAAAAAAIAAwAAgD8AsllHZEMBAAAAAAAAADM2OGU3MTI0LTc2NGYtMTFlMy05ZTNkLTc4ZTNiNTEwZWQyZQAAAAAAAAA=&s2=5924&s3=GB&s4=677414&s5=24345975[/code:1]

AND Mozilla (I am using Firefox) says my Java plugin is up to date.

This is for information so that WarpMyMind can check things out.

I haven't been able to reproduce this, has anyone else seen this?

Clicking the 'Chat' icon caused my browser to join WMM chat successfully. The chatroom was quite busy - an indication that other members are not experiencing the described problem.

I've just checked logging into the chat room again and it has behaved perfectly.

I'm not sure what happened when I had the highly suspicious message but everything seems OK now.

Most people in the chat connect with their own IRC clients so that's not necessarily true.
