GRRRRR. . . virus from FS thread

[mx-p5]

Just got a freakin Trojan horse from one of the MX-5 FS threads . . . . .

i know nothing can really be done as it's the internet, but, just a heads up

One of ZZzZoom's threads.

Opened thread, Avast said "Bang yo dead sucka" on my computer and i ran to get IT to see what can be done

thankfully it's under control

hmmmm how does that even happen?

 

[mx-p5]

no idea.

IT guy says it was embedded in a picture in the thread.

Guessing somebodies sig? There was a spammer post in there

 

[gimpo2]

HTML in sigs

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

what was the thread title?

 

[mx-p5]

k, I'll take a look via my BB so i dont get anything.

 

[mx-p5]

thank you sir!

and yeah, he said it was in the HTML in the sig

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

the spammers sig?

 

[fatti03msp]

dam thats weird, looking forward to an update on this.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

In looking, the spammer doesnt have a sig pic....

 

[mx-p5]

i dunno if it is the spammers sig, IT just said it was embeded in HTML

may not be sig. . . . i dunno

i just know that's the thread i clicked on, went in, and BAM!

 

[justanothermp5]

dam thats crazy

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

I deleted the spam post....anyone wanna test it? (peep)

 

[Sp33dFr33k]

Could very well be a coincidence as well. Something on your system didn't show up until u went in there.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

kinda what I was thinking

 

[mx-p5]

it is possible, i do have 4 different Mazda forums open as well as Facebook and Yahoo

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

besides the links in his post there wasnt anything else I could see....it most likely came from another source.

 

[mx-p5]

hmm....oh well, no way to know for sure

Guess you can clean this thread up.

Sorry

I bet its loading up some javascript in the sig. No pictures.
