Hello fellow Argonathians,
Hope you're all doing okay, or at least better than me...
You might be wondering why I'm here, posting a topic. I'm hereby to make you aware of illegal stuff happening...
Let me get straight to the point:
Accounts hijacking, something you might a victim off when you less expect. My objective when doing this topic is to alert you about some "new" methods of practising such stupid act...
Today I was victim of a failed hacking attempt, what impressed me the most is from who it came, a guy who I personally admired and counted as one of my friends tried to screw me up?
This made me wonder how far some people can go for virtual stats, I therefore decide to make this topic in order to alert you about it.
Method used: Not creative enough, I'd say... But it might make some victims... This person who I'm talking about, also known as Toxic, used an old method to access my computer illegally, which is also a cyber-crime...
He sent me a file over MSN, very suspicious since noone asked him for it. The file was a Messenger Plus Scipt, which was named "Avast 2.3" and it was supposed to be an anti-virus for MSN. I accept the file, and pretended that I've installed it, he therefore tried to execute a MS-DOS command through my MSN using an old MSN plus tool.
Conversation:
I took him as one of my friends in SA:MP...
Hope none of you has been a victim of him, and if you did, I suggest you to clean up your MSN by now, as it's gives him full access to your computer...
This is it guys, just be careful when:
- Accepting files over MSN.
- Installing softwares when other's asked you for doing it.
The only reason I wasn't victim of that "attack" was because I knew that trick already... But there are some people who does not.
