question-answered namepros.com/portals/play - is it a virus? Hacked?

[Charybdis]

Hi,

I keep getting redirected to the https://www.namepros.com/portals/play page, what is it?

It is a game, but I don't understand it.

Has Namepros been hacked?

I only get this weird behavior here at Namepros, not at other sites.

Same here

I believe this may be what is called an "April Fools" prank.

Very bad joke I have been worrying about this thing ever since I saw it, I thought that I got a virus or spyware. Plus it crashed my Firefox browser, so I really thought that it is a computer virus.

It is crashing browsers.

Correct.

Very bad joke

I thought the same thing...if I was being hacked or something by clicking stuff.

It is crashing browsers.

The bouncing ball is scheduled to be removed from the home page on Monday, but hopefully it doesn’t crash your browser if you don’t enter the game. If it does, please open a Tech Support ticket on NamePros.

Updating your browser and operating system should help if either are outdated.

One more day to go with the bouncing ball & avatar.. So annoying!

The bouncing ball on the home page has expired, but the game can still be accessed from the “Discover” menu or the sidebar.
