pin Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) New exploit out, spreading via myspace / facebook / beebo.. Clever trick, people always pass on virus warnings (much like I am doing here) only this time the warning isn't a hoax its a clever trick to con you into compromising your computer. If you get a virus warning from someone beware. If after clicking it you end up looking at this :- don't click it It's not real, it's an image of a fake windows update box, clicking anywhere on it will prompt a nasty rootkit download. I think a lot of people will be seeing this over the next few days and weeks. If you want more detail have a look at the SANS ISC posting here Edited April 23, 2008 by pin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Master Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Has anyone else noticed that its always a certain group of people that you get the 'Hey do you reckon this pic is good enough to slap on Myspace???' message from? I find in general if it's spelt too well for it to be the sender it's not them. Best bit of advice has been given which is don't click of course. However there's never any harm asking what file is being sent to you by your messaging contact. FM :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
