Beware of H@ckers


heads up guys n girls be safe


Found this on another site

Seems that H@ckers are using new a trick to hack now days. This is one of them, file name says illy.txt and its an exe Trojan file

[caveman_nige]

how is this file delivered and what is its payload... google does not exactly agree t and only microsoft seems to think its a virus......

Can you supply more detail..... as at the moment we do not know if its an email. facebook etc, msn etc or drive by infection...

been done since the dawn of the executable. i was doing this back in 95 with Netbus and BO2k servers between friends (neither of these are particularly that harmful admittedly but controlling someones mouse and playing sounds was fun as a juvanile prank)

You can pack an executable into anything, i can place a trojan into a jpg, gif, doc, txt, another exe, etc and it will execute at runtime.

Any extension whatsoever.

This can also be used to achieve relatively benign things but is most frequently used to infect people with stuff.
