Mountain Rides, the Wood River Valley’s public transportation agency, has resolved an issue caused by a malicious pop-up box that showed up on its website this week and threatened website visitors with a computer virus.<\/p>\n

Mountain Rides spokeswoman Andrea Hernandez told the Express in a Friday phone call that she spotted the issue Wednesday morning. She said that since then, Mountain Rides had been working\u00a0to resolve the issue with the help of a local web-design company that designed the Mountain Rides website, which was constructed using WordPress.com.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She said that when users attempted to access the website, a pop-up box would appear and ask them to verify they were human.<\/p>\n

The site visitor would be asked to complete a series of steps to “prove you’re not a robot,” which included keyboard commands and on-screen button clicks, before the virus could target the visitor, Hernandez explained.<\/p>\n

Just after 11 a.m. Friday, Hernandez told the Express that the issue had been resolved. She said it was not a targeted attack on Mountain Rides but instead an attack across wordpress.com websites like the Mountain Rides website.<\/p>\n

Hernandez asked that if anyone in the public encounters a similar pop-up on the Mountain Rides website they reach out to info@mountainrides.org to inform the agency of the issue. Hernandez said the website is, once again, safe for traffic.<\/p>\n

Hernandez said that two similar cybersecurity threats on the Mountain Rides website had been resolved “right away” after they occurred on May 7 and 13.<\/p>\n
