Author Topic: WARNING: New virus known as Gameover Zeus appears  (Read 2036 times)

seems easy to avoid

dont open stuff sent to you randomly and warn others to not open it


some people are actually so gullible that they click links about how to grow 5 inches in one week

Yeah, but some people aren't that smart.
They see an email and go "OOOH! I can get a free purse if I just follow the steps in this PDF? I'll take a look!"
If you willingly open things in your spam box you deserve a virus.

reminds me of this spam i got

yeah. just let them know it will forget you over if you open it or spread it throughout the media (which im pretty sure it will at this rate)

These guys are targeting small and medium-sized busniess, not a few teens with a petty $20 in their debit account.



No, I'm not following that logic. I don't use one because I don't have anything to lose.

what warning. its usually the antivirus companies that find these things first. meaning they already took care of it.

imo it's really pathetic that people resort to stealing people's money like this

i never open PDFs or check my email so im fine

So just don't open PDFs or click on unknown links?

alright the kirbster is fine

Solution: Stop opening dumb emails and accepting random things.


What a stuffty graph. It gives percentages that don't tell whether it's percentages of computers in each country infected, or percentage of total number of computers infected from /that/ country, so the unknowing reader is only left to assume that the problem is way worse than it actually is. I'm a lot less jarred by the fact that there's a new flavor of malware out in the Internet than the fact that one of the biggest antivirus companies responsible for defending computers against new forms of identity theft is staffed by idiots who don't know how to make a graph properly.

Maybe we should send them a graph illustrating how much more synergy they could have in the workplace if they trained their staff to make graphs properly
