Bad BIMcomponents site

Tom Krowka — Wed, 24 May 2023 09:37:35 GMT

See the attached JPG file for a window that came up when I tried to connect to the BIM components portal through the object library. Is it possible the site has been hacked?
Anybody else have this problem. Am a bit hesitant to connect.

Tom, if you change the web address from <https://bimcomponents.com/> to <http://bimcomponents.com/> does it load without the error?

Have not tried it. But have used this site many times in the past, why would it suddenly be a problem site. I never had to change the address before today.

I just discovered that if you put in www at the start, it works even with https so it's possible the SSL certificate have been registered to <www.bimcomponents.com> instead of just <bimcomponents.com>

Either way, since we don't input credit card (or any other sensitive) information at that site, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
