My site keeps redirecting iPhone (Safari) users to other IP, results in a timeout


I coded a simple landing page. Problem is, I added no additional lines of code but it keeps redirecting iPhone users to an IP/site I don't know... Tried browserstack's app to see if it was only that phone, but it's the same behaviour. So I'm afraid it being something malicious server-side.

My site is somosbravery.com

The problem occurs only in iPhone (already tested in PC and and Android phone).

Any clue...? Thanks!


Solution

  • tl;dr - Your website was hacked

    Just tested on an iPhone, somosbravery.com redirected to IP address 194.6.233.7, which is in a range assigned to a company in Ukraine, ukrmir.com.ua.

    There is no response from that IP address.

    Info from ipinfo.io.

    Testing on desktop with small window (375 x 667), the redirected URL is:

    http://194.6.233.7/mxjbb.cgi?default
    

    There is a posting in support.google.com that discusses a website problem with the same redirected URL.

    Entering https://somosbravery.com into the file viewr at aw-snap.info produces:

    Header returned by request for: https://somosbravery.com/ -> 66.147.244.230

    HTTP/2 302 server: nginx/1.16.1 date: Fri, 10 Apr 2020 23:15:20 GMT content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 content-length: 287 location: http://194.6.233.7/mxjbb.cgi?default Note: This line has redirected the request to http://194.6.233.7/mxjbb.cgi?default

    So there must be a redirect on the server.

    This page dated May 4, 2015 describes a .htaccess file hack that redirects to http://194.6.233.7/mxjbb.cgi?default, the exact same redirect target as in this case.
