Site Icon

TheCatWoman

The site icon has changed on my screen from the NAS rainbow thingy to a black V on a white background, it's normal when I'm on the site though, have I been hacked or something?

  • right I've done a bit of reserch. Normally when you create a webpage you provide a link to a favicon in the html. NAS does this. However if you forget to do this the browser just asks for the file favicon.ico. But the people who made this website never updated the image for favicon.ico. it's probably the same as what ever template they used for the website used as a default. You can see the eronious favicon here https://community.autism.org.uk/favicon.ico <- It's not a hack just prove the developers of this website were slopy.

    So when your browser want to get the favicon for this site with out loading a webpage (say for a bookmarks bar) this is what it gets.
