Title: URGENT WARNING: do NOT open that thread!
Post by: tenkani on Feb 22 06 01:51
I'm posting this because I know that a high number of users here also frequent Discover Vancouver.

I just opened a thread on DV and was hit by the most brutal goatse/virus attack I've ever experienced. Dozens of goatse windows began opening in random locations on my screen and Outlook kept trying to send emails to some f*cking recruitment drive. Wish I had written down the specifics, but I was a little busy trying to handle the chaos while at the same time hoping my boss didn't walk in and get a face full of goatse.

So I managed to shut down finally (a difficult process) and when I tried to reboot I got an error message saying that no valid boot device had been found  *clutching chest* I rebooted again and it worked but I think that's because my work PC is set to rebuild the OS in the case of a critical failure. Anyway, the name of the thread on DV said something about viruses...I think it's gone now but the important thing is that simply OPENING an infected thread will HOSE your system if you're running WIndows 2000 and Internet Explorer. For those running Firefox or another OS, your mileage may vary.

I just clicked on that too.  I submitted that a**hole for banning and deleted that thread and another one that he/she started.

Holy, my computer went wonkers.  AND, it was a work computer.  Oh SH*T!

The thread was titled "Attn Mods-Viruses"  and me, I felt for it.  

Damn, now I am so scared about clicking on any threads after that tragedy.  I was so lucky that no one walked by because then, they would think that I was a porn freak and would've had to explain what I just clicked to cause such chaos. Yeah, same thing happened to me.  My MS Outlook kept wanting to start a new email contact.

Don't blame yourself. When you're a mod and you see an ATTENTION MODS thread, what else can you do but open it??

The thing is, this asshat could conceivable just dump that virus into every thread on DV. Talk about bringing "life" to a standstill. DV would become a Firefox only message base overnight     (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/5.gif)

Hmmmm, not good.

For what it's worth, I don't think that could be done here. I could be wrong (I'd never say never) but I'd be more than a little surprised if this board would allow that kind of code to run. But ya never know. It's pretty easy to turn off HTML here, and that's what I'd do until the proper screening code had been added.

I deleted that one.  I'm scared to open it.  The weird thing is that at his Attn Mods-Virus thread, there were replies.  So, I'm guessing that not all computers go through this?  And the weird thing is that no one complained.[/DIV][TABLE style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: midnightblue; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=2 width="100%" border=0][TBODY][TR bgColor=whitesmoke][TD align=middle](http://www.discovervancouver.com/forum/icon_folder.gif)[/TD][TD][A href="http://www.discovervancouver.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=69870"][FONT color=#0000ff]VIRUS!

This attack is very similar to one that happened a few months back from what I remember. It's just the "invalid boot device" thing and the Outlook part that was new.

Last time it hit, those using Firefox seemed to be immune. So for them, the thread would just seem like another in a long line of completely pointless DV threads.

Hi.

I'm reminded of a character in a Rudy Rucker novel called Software.

What the character was named Software?

No, the novel was.

Hi purelife

Just got home, so missed the kafuffle.  Would this be the same thread that locked me up yesterday ?
Title: Re: URGENT WARNING: do NOT open that thread!
Post by: help on Feb 22 06 05:03
Purelife,

This is absolutely INSANE! This has to stop! I'm completely confused right now! Like I said, this is straight outta the f*ckin Twilight Zone. I am not the person who's doing this!! I can't believe the ineptitude you guys are displaying over there! Shouldn't a simple IP check or something clear my name? I am NOT the real kitten or any of her reincarnates! What is wrong with you? Seriously! I am NOT the person responsible! I am one of those affected by this virus! I am the person who brought this to everybody's attention for christ sakes! What the hell is going on here?

This all started in the "Go Canada Go" thread. My Avast! siren sounded and warned me about this site that was trying to load. I googled it, and found out that it was some disgusting site that was tries to attack your computer with disgusting pictures and some audio that says something about gay porn. So then I started a thread to warn everybody about it, and everytime I posted something to ask for help, ask what was going on, talk to the mods, warn people, etc...my posts were immediately deleted!! Unbelievable!! That particular thread about viruses stuck around long enough for 5-7 replies, I think...I read a couple responses and then when I went to check back again to see if a mod would finally answer me...IT HAPPENED  TO ME AGAIN! So now there were two threads that I was affected by! You have since deleted that thread, but the I believe the original thread still remains. It's called GO CANADA GO.

So, then I finally got you to answer me in the thread entitled "Going to DS, sick of DV hackers" and I EXPLAINED myself and I thought everything was cool and then like an hour later, I GOT BANNED! WTF! Then I see you here posting my threads accusing me of being a hacker!! What is going on here! I'm am so f*ckin frustrated right now! I'm confused and I don't know what the f*ck is going on! Like Good Times said...how do those posts make you think I'm kitten? Jesus Christ! I don't know what to even say anymore! What a f*ckin crazy day!

I AM THE ONE WHO DISCOVERED THE VIRUS IN THE GO CANADA GO THREAD AND TRIED TO TELL EVERYBODY NUMEROUS TIMES, ONLY TO HAVE ALL MY POSTS AND CRIES FOR HELP DELETED, AND I'M THE ONE BEING ACCUSED FOR ALL THIS SHIT!

Everybody, please read the thread about DV hackers...my name is help. Do I sound like the one who did this? Honestly, this is totally f*cked up! I don't even give a shit about DV. f*ck you guys! The level of  ineptitude you guys display over there is completely overwhelming. I'm going to warn you right now. If you think banning me is going to solve the problem - you are dead wrong. THIS PERSON IS STILL OUT THERE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. I've said many times that I am computer illiterate - I am not even capable of such a thing. You'd think it would be pretty easy to figure out that I am not responsible through IP checks or whatever, but apparently not...what a f*ckin joke.

I try to help everyone by telling them that the forum is infected and I am the one who gets blackballed, treated like some f*cking lowlife criminal, and ultimately banned. f*ckin incredible...I don't know what else I can say.

*sigh* Holy Shit....

So you're saying someone was posting using your handle? I saw a couple of "canader" threads that went along the lines of "haha I own you".
Title: Re: URGENT WARNING: do NOT open that thread!
Post by: help on Feb 22 06 05:18
canader was me, just once today...i used it in the CANADA russia hockey thread (go canada go) to report the score and that's it...until i started to get accused of everything. Then I just kept it  when I was defending myself and warning people about the virus. I NEVER made a post saying I owned you. I repeat that was NOT me. I didnt even see that.
Title: Re: URGENT WARNING: do NOT open that thread!
Post by: tenkani on Feb 22 06 05:23
Weren't you canader when you posted the first thread about viruses? The thread that had the goatse bomb in it?

Are you saying that you posted that thread but you were just trying to warn people and that someone else actually placed the bomb in it?
Title: Re: URGENT WARNING: do NOT open that thread!
Post by: help on Feb 22 06 05:28
Yes Tenkani. That's exactly what I'm saying. I started it to warn everybody and ask why my Avast anti-virus just went ballistic in the Go Canada Go thread, then it got a couple replies, I was still waiting for a mod to answer me, and the second time I checked back into that thread is when I got bombed again.

I made that thread and it got infected after I made it.
Title: Re: URGENT WARNING: do NOT open that thread!
Post by: weird al on Feb 22 06 05:28
I happened to click on that MODS:VIRUS thread, and my screen went nuts, etc. Freaky. Thinking back, wasn't there a thread with "fashion girl" or "celebrity designer" or one of those incarnations, warning that "payback time" was coming, for making fun of her? Although I don't think "fashion girl" was particularly brimming over with computer literacy, or any other sort.  
Title: Re: URGENT WARNING: do NOT open that thread!
Post by: tenkani on Feb 22 06 05:36
Help, here's what I think happened. Just a theory.

1. You created a thread with the subject header something about a virus. A script kiddie immediately dumps the virus into the thread. A mod sees it shortly after it's created and opens the thread. His/her computer blows up.

2. You created a second thread with the title "MODS:VIRUS" or whatever. The script kiddie immediatley injects the bomb into that thread. The mod opens the thread and his/her computer explodes again.

3. The mod is f*cking pissed off, notes your IP after deleting the threads and submits your name for bannination. The mod can't go into the threads and investigate who injected the bomb since simply opening the thread is death. The mod assumes, since your threads were infected so quickly after beginning, that you are the script kiddie and thus you get a helping of hate. What do you think?  
Title: Re: URGENT WARNING: do NOT open that thread!
Post by: P.C. on Feb 22 06 05:37
It's interesting that all this is happening again right after naughty priest resufaced.  I opened one of his threads yesterday (maybe day before ?) and my computer went very strange.  I think a few people said they had no problems with it, but I notice it's still there, and I notice there was not another response after mine.


Hmmmmm
Title: Re: URGENT WARNING: do NOT open that thread!
Post by: help on Feb 22 06 05:51
Tenkani...I really don't know. I found the original virus in the Canadian hockey thread. Then I started a new thread with the word Virus in it.

I've said on many occasions that I am computer illiterate and it's true. So I don't even know what's possible and what's not. I don't know how someone can just insert whatever virus he inserted into any thread, completely undetected, and then have whoever started the thread get banned. This is way over my head. I don't even really care about the banning either. This whole thing is just f*cked. And this dude is still out there, so I don't want to go back anyway. It's just like being framed or something though. I'm just confused. I don't know what happened.
Title: Re: URGENT WARNING: do NOT open that thread!
Post by: help on Feb 22 06 06:00
Oh, I see what you're saying now Tenkani. They could have found out who injected the bomb into the thread had they not deleted it...again, I don't know anything, but that sounds plausible.

However, that "Go Canada Go" thread was still there, last I saw...maybe there's a chance it's still infected. Not sure if anybody else was having problems with that one or not.
Title: Re: URGENT WARNING: do NOT open that thread!
Post by: help on Feb 22 06 06:15
Also, just in case anybody is wondering, because somebody mentioned that they didn't see what it was called because they were too busy deleting...

Avast! identified it as:
n*ggers(dot)on(dot)nimp(dot)org

I googled it and found this description :

[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]Notice from TinyURL admin: This URL opens a lot of windows with reportedly "distasteful" pictures and has audio saying "Hey everybody, I'm looking at gay porno." It may also crash your browser/computer.
[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]
Not sure if that's what everybody was experiencing, but it sounds like it was pretty similar.
Title: Re: URGENT WARNING: do NOT open that thread!

Help. Yes, it's still happening over there.[/DIV]The perpetrator is a twisted little deviant called "naughty priest".[/DIV]I'm guessing from the handle and other character traits that he's a pedophile, but that's neither here nor there. I understand that your tech knowledge isn't too developed. Don't sweat it. There are plenty of propeller heads around if you have any questions. As far as being banned, it looks like for whatever reason Naughty Priest was trying, and succeeded, to frame you. Considering all the damage and chaos that bomb created, I think the confusion on the part of whoever banned you is understandable. I know you said you don't want to go back, but if you change your mind I think it's possible to unban somebody if it turns out to have been a mistake.

Title: Re: URGENT WARNING: do NOT open that thread!
Post by: help on Feb 22 06 06:42
Still happening, eh? Okay, well I'm actually glad in a way...hopefully now they can actually do something to correct it. I've been here the entire time. And I'm not at all surprised that it's Naughty Priest - not the first time we've seen this. Yeah, I guess anybody could've made the mistake and thought it was me though. I don't have any hard feelings. This whole afternoon just threw me for a loop.

As long as my computer isn't infected with anything and none of my personal info was made available through IP stuff...I'll be happy. Anyways, I'm doing a deep virus scan right now, so my browser is a little slow right now, so I'm going to go offline for awhile and I'll check back later tonight.

Thanks for listening and believing me tenkani.

Edited for clarification....

I've read the comments here and also in several of the threads on DV. To prevent a similar attack here I've activated censoring on a few specific words.

The word  "n i g g e r" (without the spaces) will be changed to "n*gger". If you're the kind of person that just has to type that word, it'll be changed. (This is because the site that people were forwarded to had that word in the domain name.)

The HTML tag for "HTTP-E Q U I V" (again, without the spaces) will be automagically mangled so as not to work.

It'spossible that someone could find a way around this, but not for long. I'll be adding a few more terms to (hopefully) make it much more difficult to pull this kind of crap.

didnt anybody's anti virus catch it. i clicked on that virus link and my anti virus popped up and let me 'remove' it and closed my browser down before any damage was done. i ran my anti virus just incase and rebooted a few times just to be sure and it looks like i got off easy.

i use avast for my anti virus, which is free. i prefer this over avg anti virus. i have a pretty big host file that has alot of sites that points to my localhost so that might also help for future reference.

Well, color me stupid. I went browsing on DV again to see if there was anything new, and page 2 of one of the threads nailed me. Doh.

hey TehBorken,

is there anything on this forum that will prevent something like that happening here?

Post by: TehBorken on Feb 22 06 08:09
is there anything on this forum that will prevent something like that happening here?

I think so, but I can't guarantee it. The HTTP forwarding trick shouldn't work here, and even if it does I don't think it'll be able to go that site. The site has the word "n***er" in it, and when I post this it should 'censor' it by swapping the "i" with a "*".  

I think it's pretty safe here, but time will tell.

Page 2 of DV

It was page 2 of one of the threads, I'm not sure exactly which one.


..... I'm almost afraid to go there.

Uh yup. I'm afraid my DV-browsing days are over. It didn't damage anything on my PC as far as I can tell (yet). I don't think it's an "infector" but I honestly don't know.


I've deleted one horrible thread... you  mean to tell me there's more???!!?!?![div style="font-style: italic;"][/div]

Oh my, just when you thought things couldn't have gotten any worse on DV - it did.

After reading the comments here, I went to that site and clicked on some threads. And yup, it happened. Curiosity certainly can kill the cat!! I consider that as one life used up. Anyway I was able to close it before anything else happened. Now I'm wondering if it left anything on my computer. I already cleared the cache.

Probably not, but from what I can see this board should be pretty immune to the kind of hacks and hijinks that are being used on DV.

The only personal info required at this time is an email address. There are lots of free email services that people could use for "throw away" registration addresses so that wouldn't really slow a malicious user down much. If needed the board can be set to require manual approval of new members, but I don't think that'll be necessary.

But again, I think this board isn't as easily spoofed as the DV software is. One of the author's key goals is security and from what I've seen code-wise, it's pretty tight.

It would seem that every time DV has been haxxored it's been due to allowing the free use of html code in posts. Quite frankly I'm astounded that anyone with a discussion board would allow that. Any decent board script has that option turned off by default.

So far the code used by NP has bee relatively harmless, probably stuff he got off "L33T" wannabe boards. I know of some very, very nasty code out there which would cause some really bad crap. Let's hope he never finds it, 'cause it's obvious the board owners over there aren't going to fix the problem.  No, I'm not stupid enough to go on a rant blaming the mods. I actually tend to check things like facts and to whom I may be speaking before making an ass of myself (that oughta be worth a few more smites from the anonymous coward).

Oh my, what a mess.  I haven't logged into dv since 4:30 pm yesterday.  I wonder if it's safe to visit.

Help- I'm not sure what happened there.  When I saw a thread by Canader titled Attn Mods-Virus, I naturally clicked it and boom, my computer went bonkers.  I then deleted the rest of the threads with your ip address before clicking on it for fear of infecting my computer and anyone else's.  I then submitted your ip for banning because I thought that you had infected the forum.  Your thread had to be deleted, regardless because it was infected.  

It was certainly a tough call for me as we have had some tragedies on dv these years.  From my experiences on dv, trolls/hackers and the like use rotating ip addresses so that they can play on the forum.   I apologize that you were in the mess.

Not outwardly anyway, because my arguments are based on reality and logic.

However I'm sure there're a few resentful misers out there who know that their rationale doesn't have a leg to stand on, so instead of debating the issue they've been frantically hacking away at their smite function like a hamster trapped in a maze.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/froehlich/a080.gif" border=0]

'Jurassic beaver' found in China

The discovery of a fossil beaver that lived whenthe dinosaurs ruled the Earth could challenge some currently accepted ideas on mammal evolution.

It must be all this horny talk that made it jump off the page at me. Honest!

A few suggestions to make browsing a little safer everywhere....

1) If you don't use Outlook Express as your email client, uninstall it. It's an accident waiting to happen. See the info below on uninstalling it.

2) Turn on pop-up blocking.

3) If you use FireFox (and you should), go into the Tool - Options screen.
[ul][li]Click the "Content" icon. [/li][li]Then click the "Advanced..." button across from the "Enable jvascript" checkbox. (Leave the "Enable jvascript" checkbox. checked)
[/li][li]Uncheck all the checkmarks. You might want to leave the "Raise or lower windows" box checked. [/li][li]Save and exit. [/li][/ul]This will prevent most of the michief that's often done through jvascript.

You can get FireFox [a href="http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/"]here[/a] or by clicking on the "Get Firefox" icon on the right side of this page.  


Uninstalling Outlook Express
[a href="http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/drb1/Windows/OutLookExpress/OutLookExpress.htm"]http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/drb1/Windows/OutLookExpress/OutLookExpress.htm[/a]

The steps necessary to remove Outlook Express under Windows 2000/XP or for users who have upgraded their browser to a later version are much more complex.  Rather than try to include them here, we will direct you to the Web pages provided by Microsoft.

How to reinstall or repair Internet Explorer and Outlook Express in Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318378

You may be able to automatically remove Outlook from Windows 2000 by opening the Control panel and selecting Add/Remove Windows Components and then de-selecting Outlook Express.

I agree. IE is evil, and should ONLY be used to get updates from Microsoft.

For those of you who haven't already done so, get Mozilla.
If you don't have a router yet, consider one. No wireless though!

DVcan be fun sometimes, especially for the teeny-bopper whoclaimsbragging rights for having effectively shut it down Sat. Feb.25.

I bet every thread there is dirty so don't bother until you hear from a reputable source that it's been cleaned up.
That's also part of the fun about DV too, it's a great opportunity for baby c/p coders to lose their cherry.
I bet in 20 years the prick is a Senator, lol.

That was the one I was referring to in my earlier post. Nothing there - other than a couple anti social guys feeling each other out. [/DIV][DIV align=right][img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/e130.gif" border=0][P align=right]

Has anyone been over there tonight? It is still a 3-ring circus. I opened a thread a couple days ago and got a pop-up that just just jumped around my screen, then i just closed everything down...do you suppose anything evil happened? I have a Mac.

Nothing smug here. I'm sure they'll try, and with all the tricky ways of doing stuff I would't be shocked if they succeeded.

That works for  me. No argument there.

As for 'wholesome', I can only speak for myself, but the term doesn't fit. I haven't been wholesome for years, lol.

I'm having a chat with Bela over there, seems to being goingswimmingly. Although I politely asked the coder to be cool, who knows?

The "HACK PROOF THREAD" really is hack proof, and contains some advice for the DV'ers. I used an XMP tag (another little goodie that the DV idiots should filter, but don't) to prevent any follow-up replies.

I'm sure a bunch of folks here would appreciate it if you'd post that advice here as well.

Seriously, all I do is say ultimately rude, smart-assed shit. I don't hack and I don't think that's cool at all.

OK, so you no likee pottee mouth. That'syour thing, we have ours. Butthis mongrel is the worst kind of scumbecause he actually stops communication, regardless of whether or not it's the kind of communication you like.

Theinternet is not your mammy's Sunday dinner. Never was. But peoplestillshould be allowed to interact and even go at each other with hotvenomif they get off on that.

Naw, a little cussin' never hurt no one. There's no "Sunday School Rule" for language here.

But like they say, "Profanity is the last refuge of the inarticulate motherf*cker." lol

I have the full copy of that message! (http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/poo.gif)

I wasn't able to read the extended screen on my monitor so I had copied the whole thing to Notepad.

However it DOES contain quite a bit of racial slurs... and even more importantly, it dares criticise the holy MODS - the latter is probably the main reason why it was deleted.

Anythingthat is anti-Chinese at all gets killed over there, sometimes in amatter of seconds. Much like the nation itself (i.e. China).

BTW, WTF is up with the dodgy spacing? I've been on boards and forumsall over the world, with all kinds of software, and I've never come upagainst that before.

I've seen quite a bit of racist crap festering there for weeks. Probably I can dig up some that's still there... What's deleted immediately is any criticism of their moderation style. You can not find a single thread that even politely questions their judgement. That ought to tell you something about their intolerance, dictatorship, and arrogance.

I noticed that. I don't know. Borken would have a better idea. I haven't seen anyone else having this problem before. Many people post as Guest and they don't appear to have any problems quoting earlier messages or entering new messages with the right spacing.

I've basically had it with DV as well . The insanity was entertaining , but not worth picking up a virus to view it. Too bad, I still owe Federico for a couple of octuple absinthes.

I thought Dogmeat fixed it. Haven't been to DV lately... judging from these posts, nothing has been fixed yet.

I'm so waiting for registration. It'll happen. Mark my words.

I don't know, Lise.  They've talked about it forever, but haven't done anything.  By the time they get around to it there will be nobody who cares, because all the good ones will have come here.

Untitled

hopelessly drift in the eyes of the ghost again
down on my knees and my hands in the air again
pushing my face in the memory of you again
but i never know if it's real never know how i
wanted to feel never quite said what i wanted
to say to you never quite managed the words to
explain to you never quite knew how to make
them beleivable and now the time has gone
another time undone hopelessly fighting the
devil futility feeling the moster climb deeper
inside of me feeling him gnawing my heart away
hungrily i'll never lose this pain never dream of
you again
