It's not "our" browsers.

All of Internet Brands is under what's called a DDoS attack, again. A couple other forums under their umbrella that I belong to are affected, too.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack

"A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) is where the attack source is more than one, often thousands of, unique IP addresses. It is analogous to a group of people crowding the entry door or gate to a shop or business, and not letting legitimate parties enter into the shop or business, disrupting normal operations."

The site is not "hacked." Don't worry.
It's basically some entity trying to disrupt IB's capability to do business, plain and simple.
The "browser check" is ensuring that us, the actual users of OSO, are the legitimate folks trying to get in, not the fake machines that are attacking with the DDoS.

I have my browser checked regularly. I like to have different people check it occasionally, never hurts to have a second opinion.

No, he started selling propellers in Fla after Kaama.

Not looking forward for when I turn 40, and my doctor wants to give me a browser exam.
