I was just asked to verify that I'm a human by a page claiming to verify my connection security- is this legit?

I am assuming you used the search engine ?

Bots use those to perform attacks on wrbsites, its a very neccesary security step in place on many websites.

 

You don't say if it's on THIS website.

 

First time happened to me and I didn't use a search engine. I was already logged on when it happened.

The security check comes up when you use the search function on the forum that is at the top of this page. image.png.97fced9ebcd87027c8b018d9dd2a51d0.png

It can also come up when logging into the forum.

If your IP address is flagged it it can deny access to the site.

Thanks for that, so at least I can assume I wasn't hacked.

However, never seen it before and didn't do anything different today. I was already logged on, and never went near the search function.

Obviously my IP address isn't flagged.

Software glitch perhaps?

Yes, Asean Now is protected by various security measures to ensure site stability.

 

The exact algorithms used by the software are not made public by the vendor, so we can only guess why you were checked today.
