A real bad trojan
So yesterday I get an email form USPS saying that they have a package for me. I have been waiting for some parts for one of my chain saws so i click the link in the email and, yup, you guessed it. I got some of the worst trojan infections I have even encountered.
Now, I was in this business and have some of the most sophisticated virus elimination software there is. I could not eradicate it. Embedded itself in several registries. Finally Kapersky did the job but it's a nasty one. Severity level 1 and designed as a password stealer. |
I hope nobody got pregnant.

Paul, rebuild your machine. There are a lot of bugs that just can't be fixed and you'll never know.

hover over any link to see the content before you launch, it's very nasty out there

This particular Trojan drops pieces of executables in several non-removable registry entries. I'm good now but it took 4 hours to get all of it.

(including identity theft) and the least prosecuted for PUNY punishment that it's no wonder it's So out of control.... Every guy knows.............. That a really BAD Trojan is the one that leaked |
Another real bad one we recently encountered was a variant of cryptolocker.
We had numerous user accounts who's folders were being held ransom. Asking for bitcoin to obtain the encryption key. As stated above and in the other email-thread, a lot of bad junk out there right now. Other than changing passwords, that email thing is a tough one. It's even infiltrated strong passwords....I'm talking 10 character, upper, lower, numerical, & symbol combinations. Skumbuckets having a ball at everyone else's expense... :wall::spam: |
talk about nasty
locked me up solid
safe mode useless virus protection didn't prevent it |
I've created rescue disks for all of my machines, also NAS backups of all meaningful content. I should go cloud for photo backups, haven't done so yet
|
What happens if I open something like that on my Mac?
