Be Careful...

[Fadi Al-Johari]

Hello guys i just wanted to tell you to be careful of some files are being sent through steam messages, yesterday there was that guy i have him on steam sent me a link and saying he want to trade with me on steam and he sent me a link to download the photo of that item that he want to trade with me, but i caught him and that was a hack file, if you open it you can get hacked, i told him to go away because i know all of these stuff sh*t, and he started saying to me sorry and also he said that his steam is hacked bla bla... and today when i came back from school i got the same message with the same Link from E-Hero, and it was really a photo but when you download it it shows that its .scr not .png, and .scr is a program some program hackers use, it combines the hack file with the picture, so when you open the picture that hack file opens automatic without you feel of it, so check the pictures and be careful...

and now check the picture down it shows that i scanned that file online and it shows that 3 anti viruses got it, and he really worked hard for that lmfao, hows that? he used some programs and scripts that makes the Hack files looks like clean for anti viruses and for some security programs and sites, its hard to make it 0, so this one is 3/42 and i can make sure its hack file 100% check what the anti viruses got, 1-Obfuscated I am not sure about that but i think its one of the programs that make the hack file looks clean, but what make me sure of that is number 2- Packed.Confuser, that one is just as same as number 1, but it makes me sure of it, i know that program he use it to make the hack file looks clean, and number 3-Trojan everyone knows that , but number 2 is sure 100%.

I know that 80% of you know these stuff, like you don't open any random sites or smthing like this, but am here just to help the people who doesn't know that, and if you opened that picture by mistake or someone opened it before, tell me, i know how to remove it from your PC .

There was a topic for this. Your friend doesnt know that he sent u the link.

Good topic, very well made to put a redirection link on a .jpg, took them hackers quite a while before they started doing that though.

Deleted everyone in my friend list except for a few, tired of these messages coming up daily

Am I the only one that even if I would open that file, my antivirus would stop it immediately?

[SilverQuick]

Ye, I got that message too from hero, but the funny thing is that I don't even own cs:go on my current steam to trade items, lol.

It's not a redirection link, its just simple file download under the file "screenshot.jpg". Easily done.

Haven't seen that before actually.

Seeing as it downloads another file than the .jpg extension tells you, seems weird to me.
Not into html at all ^^

As long as I know this is a spam bot, not a hack at all.You won't get keylogged or anything, it is a spam bot which spams all your steam friend list with the same messages.

Spambots are self-competent machines that were built to be spambots.

The chat is coming from an account / person who under normal circumstances would not send such message - so in other words, it's not a spambot but a virus and while maybe not very harmful one, still a virus nevertheless.

...I got this message by Silex..and I opened it but it said that the download failed so I couldnt open it cuz I couldnt downloaded it,I hope I am alright. So they can send these kind of messages without even the owner of the account knows it ?

[RAMBATEN]

Only noobs will fell for those links and new "friends"...

[Ovér'Dos£]

This is a way for hacking a very idiots guys only, if u download it you will get Automatic install a small file that u can not see

[SilverQuick]

I've seen alot of friends who fell in this trick, don't underestimate it fellas.
