cappa_norra Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Did read an article in the Channel Register today conserning viruses on new blank external Maxtor Hdd. Those Hdd`s from a unnamed chinese subcontractor had by magic ( what else ? they wont say sure we did it ) been infested by a virus. More correct the virus called AutoRun-AH a trojaner that according to Channel Register is designed to do 2 things. 1 Disable the antivirus detection of it, and 2 collecting online game password. AutoRun-AH is a Trojan that searches for passwords to online games and sends them to a server located in China. It also disables anti-virus software. Possibility of those storage boxes still in shops is slim , also it seems like most of them ended up in Taiwan. That is not what i fear most. But will more and more chinese employers missuse their possibility of infecting un used storage systems. (I do say chinese only because most computer hardware happens to be made there due to low cost, not because i say that chinese people is more likely to do that ). Do we only se the start of some few ppls attempt to get their hand on virtual goods or is this case just execptional. Sure there have been more and more reports of chinese hackers lately. But most of those seems to be somewhat official. Feel free to comment anyway the article is http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2007/11/12/maxtor_infected_hdd_updated/ Valuable drops ??? Ohhhh yes, let me see cabbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warren211 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Wait.. so you're saying this new program can keep guessing passwords until it finds the right one, then sends it to a certain person? Good lord! when will the chinese give up? [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.[/hide]Apparently a lot of people say it.

Death_Hippy Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I got 4 trojans once...though I apparently downloaded a corrupt program (didn't know it was corrupt, but still not my fault). Luckily, I was virus scanning at the moment and I found out there was 4 trojans in there....I deleted em, though I'm not sure if it can find on-site trojans o_o.

That's the basic idea of bruteforcing, nothing new on that :P To efficiently bruteforce runescape passwords you would need 1000s of ip addresses.

PLaCiDSHaDoW Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I'm a little bit disgusted by this thread . How can some of you guys make statements like ... bomb china ... and china have done it again ... are you guys thick as well as ignorant. Just because 1 chinese company does something wrong, that doesn't mean the whole of china is responisble. If that was the case then america would have to be destroyed numerous times a day ... just take a look at the dodgy dealings that companies in other major countries like america pull against other countries on a daily basis ... but this isn't the fault of america as a whole ... the blame lies with the individual companies. Is there a light at the end of the tunnel ... Or is it just the front of an approaching train! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenw Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 But even if this is the case, I am not at ALL surprised that the Chinese have pulled off something like this.

JoeDaStudd Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 They are more then likely infected at boot level which means you can't get rid of them the normal way (a virus scan). You would have to wipe the hard drive to remove it. Anyway there not much to worry about without you live in Taiwan or tend to buy PC's direct from China. Its still fairly worrying though, if the Chinese can do it what's stopping the rest of the world monitoring what we do on our PC's :ohnoes: :uhh: :ohnoes: [hide=Drops]Dragon Axe x11Berserker Ring x9Warrior Ring x8SeercullDragon MedDragon Boots x4 - all less then 30 kcGodsword Shard (bandos)Granite Maul x 3Solo only - doesn't include barrows[/hide][hide=Stats][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
