Malware on WickedFire?

[bprimeelite]

ahhh I was hoping this was a digital point type of move where they put 20 iframes per page with amazon, ebay, and other affiliate cookies. I never did get a warning using firefox and AVG on this one though and AVG is usually pretty touchy on iframes.

It was called "security system 2009". Basically it tries to scare you into inputing your credit card details to get rid of spyware it "finds" on your system. Oh the irony.

I'm to lazy to check out the payload but from the sounds of it, security system 2009, is a yet another fake AV. I really want to know how these folks get and keep merchant accounts. The chargeback rate on that stuff has to be insanely high.

Seriously if you got infected with it consider wiping your hard drive there is no telling what they bundled that crap with. Undetected password stealers are a dime a dozen and if you manage your servers from the same computer there is a fair chance you will have your passwords stolen for them and similar malicious code placed on your sites.

I dunno so much about the high chargebacks, you gotta think, peoples systems are completely fucked by the malware and then boom... they pay for the software and it does exactly what it has promised them. Nevertheless, it's a shady ass way of making money. But I doubt it's that hard to maintain a merchants account and i'm sure they bundle their transactions with other (actually legit) products.

Not sure where Jon is. But I'm tellin ya anything tryin to track them back via their domain is a failboat.
No way to tell who's a real person in Russia.
No way to tell if the non-russian names are real. Or stolen.
There's a lot more nastiness coming from these guys. It's a minefield trying to find them. And also, there's certain people you just don't out.
