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.
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 to resolve the issue with the help of a local web-design company that designed the Mountain Rides website, which was constructed using WordPress.com.
She said that when users attempted to access the website, a pop-up box would appear and ask them to verify they were human.
