Anybody have any info on this site: www.tank-net.com, I tried to visit, but my computer gave me a full red page deceptive site message. I'm not even sure how to get around that, or if I should even try, any thoughts?

I recently encountered an armor modelling site supposedly based in New Zealand which had been hijacked or taken over by someone trying to use it to install "ramsonware"--I had followed a link to the site from a Wikipedia article on scale modelling. I alerted Wikipedia and they removed the link. Keeping that anti-malware software up to date is a good idea, there are lots of nasty critters out there.

What browser see you using?
I just went there using android chrome and got to the page, but gallery link went to a place holder domain.
They might be defunct.

Tanknet has been having a bunch of technical issues for the past few months. It is operating and I've done scans up the wazoo and the warning message seems to be an error. It still pops up every time I go to the site in Firefox though.
