A Warning for All Members To Read

Warning!!!!- ###Infected Self Extracting files####

Note: This Topic is for the benefit of The Katz Community and has been excluded from the normal Topic Title/Description Forum Rules due to the Seriousness of the matter it addresses. This does not mean that similar topic titles are permitted for any other topic by forum users.

Please Take This Seriously Since This Has Happened To My Friend He Has lost All Of His Passwords Due to This Including Paypal.So No Joke.And Since He is the One Who told me and Provided The Half of the Content Thanks To Him.So i Thought It Will be Good to Share in CW And Keep CW Members On a Alert

There is currently a big problem on many forums including this one, with People posting infected Self Extracting Video files.

If you download a Rar archive Video which after extracting contains a large exe DO NOT RUN IT!!

If you do so it will take your passwords that are stored in your browser and cookies and attempt to send them out to the internet where your passwords will be used for a hackers benefit. This could mean that all your accounts such as Paypal, Forums, File hosts such as RS, possibly Credit Cards and anything else of value could become Compromised and you MAY loose them or money! Virtually NO Anti Viruses will detect an infection so DO NOT rely on your AV protection! Knowledge is your BEST protection.

If you find one of these video files, Make a post to the thread warning others about the file and inform them not to run the exe! Then Report it immediately as a high priority report and finally Open the Forum Index and find an online Moderator who you can PM.

If you Run or have Ran one of these Files:
Quote:
Install KeyScrambler and Change ALL your Passwords Immediately, preferably from a Clean PC! Although it is not believed or known to infect a PC after it has run, the possibility exists!
Additional Security Tips:
Quote:
Keep your RS Premium/Collectors accounts Locked at all times to avoid having your Points Stolen, that is what it is there for! Files and multiple files can be deleted without the lock being removed using RapidUploader.

Strongly consider using KeyPass to store your Passwords for a more secure browsing environment. After which, remove the passwords from your browser.
Warning:
Quote:
Do not falsely post the above warning to any Video file which does not contain a Self Extracting exe in order to discredit a post or lower their downloads. Doing so May Incur Penalties Against You

Never the less it's very important info so thanks for letting us know. (y)

Personal I would just simply send this through a mail to all members or make a temporary "Important" flashing url on the mainside of the forum. The hack is allready installed so its just a matter of using it.

Now that's a good idea! Would be nice if there could be a way to get something like a Katz "Beware" weekely newsletter containing some nice info about malicius applications via email, tough i think that could be expencive for the Katz Staff and that's why they are not doing it, can't blame them tough.

BTW i agree with you cf, since even as law maker sayd you might have copy & pasted but many aren't reading threads with "malicius files" or names like that but when it comes to movies, they do. If we would have more people like you to remind us what we must watch out for we would get alot less internet scams. Keep up the good work! (y)
