IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTICE

Hi everyone, Doc Holiday and I have agreed that we should tell everybody what’s been happening.

In the last couple of days Doc has received three emails supposedly from me. He opened one of them, an exe file containing an email worm which infected his system. Thankfully he has cleared it now and I can’t find any trace of it on my system.

Perhaps one of you gurus can tell me if it is possible to pass a worm from your computer via a web based email account. I didn’t think this was possible, that’s one of the reasons I only use that type of account.

Anyway if anyone receives an email from me be sure not to open it as I won’t be emailing anyone without warning them in the private messages first. Also be carefull opening any emails from people on the forum, looks like someone is out to sabatage us.

Doc has found a lot of info on this worm, it’s here:

The real Name is “Bagle.AH” and it’s a Mail-Worm and a Backdoor too.

You can see if the Worm is active on Your System by open the Windows Task-Manager. Hit Ctrl+Alt+del. If You are infected, You find a Task named “sys_xp” which can’t be killed manually.

It places a “sys_xp.exe” to the Windows/system32 Directory. Also two other Files called “sys_xp.exeopen” and “sys_xp.exeopenopen” to the same Directory. Just delete (shift+del) these Files and reboot to remove it from the System.

The Subject of such a “Worm-Mail” is “Re:” or “Re:_”
The Body can be:
Animals

fotogalary
fotoinfo
Lovely animals
Predators
Screen
The snake

The Attachment can have one of these Names:
Cat
Dog
Doll
Fish
foto1
foto2
foto3
Garry
Secret
And can be a COM, EXE, SCR or CPL File. Sometimes an password protected ZIP.

The Worm searches for a Directory calld “Shared” to disseminate over Peer-to-Peer Programs. If it found one, it put’s these Files in: (Just delete them (shift+del). Do NOT try to open one of these!)

jrt.

o crap i take this seriosly as a hacker myself it isnt right i dont apriciate if i had permission i would try to hack doc holiday or someone and do a trace doc u there right if it happens again jus tell me no one should do this its wrong its against the hackers rulez its self jrt what is your msn email can i have it please? and you doc can i have yours? id like to talk bout this ok.

… [perhaps people shouldn’t have your email online…]

well anyway, this isn’t anything major or new

the recent viruses have sent themselves from random addresses in the infected computer’s address book, this has nothing to do with a webmail account

so, it probably worked like this

person A [infect computer] had person B [a friend] in their address book
person C recieves worm “from” person B [also a friend]

the e-mail of person B could be anything, hell you could reieve viruses addressed from yourself

yea but you need a direct connection to get a virus from plzce to place. thanks for the adress jrt.

no you don’t [you can get them on dial-up too]

well anwyay, I would have prefered jrt just linked to:
http://sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/[email protected]

and, this does spread itself via e-mail, with non-legitamate [spoofed] e-mail addresses in the from part of the header, as is standard now of most e-mail virusies

yo z3r0 d this is important cause it shouldnt be espicially in elysiun my home i may not post much but i looked here for other 2 -4 years now cant remember but this is important . too me it is i dont care about you to be honest sorry.

virus’s are being made every day and nortan anit virus and other programs cant update unless the maker finds out and has to program it into the anti virus and you would have too update, u may have up to 5 virus’s right now in your computer and none of your virus protectors wont know cause it hasnt been updated too that.

No way, I got the same from NOR.J!

What? you got a virus mail from me? Lol thats inposible, i have never gotten anny virus mails in Many Months?

  1. The mail addresses are most probably spoofed.
  2. Is this game engine related? No?!
  3. Please lock this thread or move it to News & Chat or something…

What? you got a virus mail from me? Lol thats inposible, i have never gotten anny virus mails in Many Months?[/quote]

No, it was a spoof!

ok move it then jrt keep in touch other the pm’s.

I’ve clicked on the edit button but don’t see anywhere to lock or move the thread. Can someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

A mod has to do that.

Since the beggining of the year I have been getting more dodgy (virus, worm etc) emails than you can shake a stick at.

Take a look at this, or you file is attached, or you web account has expired, click on the attachment to reactivate it, or returned mail data format error.

They all mean the same: click to infect!

Try AVG FREE addition, Panda online scan, PC pit stop, etc

yea smart ppl who made this wrong thing but they are smart.

i thought it’s quite obvious NOT to open “strange” files neither exe files attached to a mail without prior scan. i used to get dozens of such mails every day until i enabled a spam/virus protection from my provider (for a really small fee a month).

To all who are not sure. I found a nice small Freeware Scan-Tool:
McAfee AVERT Stinger http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/
