TROJAN HORSE

[Goauld]

On 28/07/03 I visited this site, spending a great deal of time here and downloaded the EQ Emu, alongwith various updates.

Having been busy lately, my G/F had been using the machine, but I had not made any updates to my AV for about a week.

Having just updated my definitions, I find that I'm carrying the `Backdoor Coreflood' trojan (used for DOS attacks and comeplete system control, as I understand). Having checked my site access for the day and checking against the creation dates for the EXE & 2 DLL's this entailed (not to mention the registery modification) I am certain that this minefield-like site is the culprit.

To the owners, I'd like to think that you might take this as a useful reminder that such a disjointed board can hide a multitude of sins.

To the casual browser, I would advise extreme caution in light of this incident.

I hope I can get a positive response from the site owners, rather than just this post being deleted for `pissing someone off'


And to the miscreant responsible for this breech, I can only suggest that you take a look outside the window, if you have one, and go find something better to do - like play with traffic on the freeway.
