It has come to our attention that users are posting malicious downloads that may infact steal passwords and are using these passwords to post under other accounts

There has been numerous amounts of users with high post counts posting these files which has led us to believe anyone who has downloaded these files are getting there passwords stolen so far i have seen fake SENUKE and SCRAPEBOX download urls.

These if you have downloaded please run ANTIVIRUS immediately then come back and change your ALL YOUR passwords.


IF YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED RECENTLY PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE FILES YOURSELVES AS THESE USERS ARE POSTING FAKE VIRUSTOTAL RESULTS.

IF THE DOWNLOAD SEEMS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT.

I SUGGEST EVERYONE TO CHANGE PASSWORDS AND RUN AV SCANNERS ASAP. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY ASWELL AS YOUR OHTER ACCOUNTS.

Again we are doing everything to delete these asap. But from now do not trust fake virustotal results.


Again we cant moderate everything. So be very aware.

Thanks
HaRRo

P.S Any accounts that have been comprised we will work with you to re-enable them if they have been wrongly used. But not until you are 100% sure you are virus/trojan free.

Thank you for the understanding.

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't downloaded anything since last 3-4 months.
 
Yes . . . Good move HaRRo.

And to the members: When you change your passwords, it might be a good idea to use 15 to 20 mixed numerals and characters to make it more difficult to crack. However, that doesn't do any good until after your machine has been completely cleaned of whatever virus has been going around.

Too bad.

Maybe time to make the Download section posts subject to an approval process? i.e they don't go live until reviewed. Is anything like that in the system? Possible? Waste of time?
 
It might be a good idea to check back with the established members who were banned to see if there was a pattern. If we could find a commonality as to what particular program they all downloaded, we could then pinpoint what particular application it was that started this crap.
 
Thanks harro,
Also what might help is if you need to use passwords while you're running your antivirus, or just want to be extra cautious you can use an on screen keyboard that can easily be found in your start menu should stop them from seeing what you're typing.
 
Scary stuff.. I guess there is no such thing as security on the internet.
 
god damnit! okay so I fell for the SENUKE thread, downloaded... looked at it and was like this is fishy... ran kaspersky and nothing...

so i installed it and it froze my computer and it was using up my ram like mad... i am not sure if it installed completely because windows 7 said it failed to install, i am scanning my comp as we speak.

It was probably using your pc for a botnet. The reason why your anitvirus didn't pick it up when you scanned it is probably because the software download itself technically is not malware, but as soon as you install it, it creates or put malware on your computer.
 
if you want an online scanner

try mcafee

you can run the online scanner while you're doing something

needs to run on IE

I am surprised people would even look for cracks for softwares like ScrapeBox. It should be way more than $57, yet the creator loves the BHW too much to make it as expensive as other software applications. Are people really that desperate?

From what I hear/understand all the passwords were phised and not cracked so a 15-20 character length password isn't going to help you in my opinion.
 
Run untrusted files in some type of VM environment, that will help too....
 
So I now made a full system scan with avira antivir free and found 2 downloads I didnt opened before that both contains

TR/FakeAV.ABC

The files are:

SENuke.V.5.55.Full.Crack.45222.exe
and
SENuke.V.5.55.Full.Keygen.45222.exe

Are these the Trojans that are used?

The bad thing with warez is you never know if a antiviralert is because a trojan or because of the patch/crack...
 
you can download the software on 1 computer..remove keygen

use another computer to run keygen and get your code and you're done

or you can run keygen on it then remove it when you're done with it

key gen always shows up as a trojan

never had a problem because of it...but you never know!
 
@Harro

So I thought the hacked account owners will be contacted and the things cleared out? Because of that I thought I can wait for the things that will happen but it seems it doesnt happen.
So sycthos (the creator of statblaster) wrote me now this.

Code: 
(23:30:01) sycthos: You said that you haven't heard from me on the StatBlaster thread in the Lounge. Well, there isn't much I have to say now. I'm having a very difficult time contacting any moderator. IRC seems to be a dead end since I haven't seen a moderator there who does not appear to be idle. I've IM'd WiredMom but she did not respond. I'm trying to IM more moderators now.

So is something done here?
 
I was a victim of this a while ago, still haven't got my jonnyh431 account back lol
