Odd broswer behavior on Knlde 3
This has happened twice so far. I'm fairly sure I've only used it to access a private wiki that I control and only a couple people have access to. The first time was a week or so ago and the second just happened. When changing pages it randomly goes to www.google.com freezes for a moment and tries to jump to a hairball of a subdomain on rr.nu. The subdomain was different for both incidents.
Anybody else experience anything like this or know what's causing it and how concerned should I be? Last edited by Teyrnon; 03-06-2012 at 12:21 AM. |

If that was happening on my computer (redirecting web pages to unknown urls) my first thought would be a virus of some kind. In fact a quick search on google for that subdomain returns complaints from people of their sites being hacked.
Possibly hook it up to your PC and run a virus check on it? Or does something similar happen when you visit your wiki in any other way (perhaps it's the site and not your Kindle that's got the problem)? |

For what it's worth the problem was definitely on the server side. What a mess.
