Greetings:
----------------------------------------I just received a BOINC notice to change a URL for a project I'm not running (so far as I know), and which apparently doesn't exist. I thought it might be another project I could support, so I entered the new URL, and BOINC said that is not a valid URL. Since there is currently a global Internet threat of ransomware, I'm wondering if that's what this is? The URL is: http://WCG_MASTER_URL_WCG/ The project is called: World Community GridWCG_ENVIRONMENT_ADDED_WCG Thank you.

Ignore that, it was from WCG in error, now corrected.

Just to give an official response to this as well. PMH_UK is correct, we deployed a configuration file that had some wrong values which caused the issue. It has been corrected and your client will display the fixed information after the next time it communicates with our servers.
