I've just been hacked!!

Recommended Posts

I was playing the game and someone told me that their girlfriend was quitting and had some things she wanted to give away. He asked if I had MSN or AOL. I stupidly gave him my AOL screen name and she messaged me. She told me she was going to send me a screen shot of her items. An icon came up instead of a picture. That sometimes happens when my friends send me something so I tried to open it. It told me the file was corrupt so she just told me she would meet me in a world and show me. I did and she said she wasn't able to get in, to meet her in a different one. I should have known it sounded fishy but I went anyway. I was unable to get it. It said my account was already logged in. I've had that message before so I waited the 60 seconds and kept trying. I rebooted my PC and tried everything but I couldn't get in. Now I get a message saying my password isn't valid. I tried sending the Runescape Support a message about it. They wanted all my membership pin numbers and codes that I can't seem to find now. I have the person's AOL name incase they strike again. They are rscassy. Now do I need to worry about virsus on my computer? Is there something else I should do? I've already had my credit card cancel my membership with RS and they are changing my CC number. Any advice is welcome. Thanks.

ok, first of all i would suggest is never to open any file from someone you don't know.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scan with ad-aware, spybot search and destroy, scan with your virus scanner or use housecall ( http://www.trendmicro.com ), then post a hijack this log.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All these programs can be googled to download.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

wish you all the luck getting your runescape acount back.

Ok... firstly, as has already been said... do NOT accept files frmo anyone you don't know !!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Especially for a bank pic - tell them to host it...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What operating system are you on ? Windows XP ? Windows 98 ??

 

 

 

What virus scanner program do you have ??

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Answer these, and we'll be able to help you with a bit more detail :)

Its weird, I normally don't accept things from people. I don't know why I did it. I can kick myself now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have Windows XP. I have Norton 2003. Its running a scan now. I also have Spybot. I'll be running that next. I did have adware. I have to see if I still do. If not I will redownload it.

Thank you. I will do all that although I'm not sure what hijack this is. I'll find it though. Thanks again.

Certainly sounds like the kind of thing responsible for keylogging.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For safetys' sake, i'd boot into safe mode, and do a couple more scans :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Norton

 

 

 

Ad-Aware SE (upgrade if you only have 6)

 

 

 

HiJackThis

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Post a log from HiJackThis here pls so we can double-check for you :)

Also, you really should scan for spyware and virus's in safe mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To do this, restart and press F8 repeatedly untill it prompts you how you would like to start up... Use the up\down arrows to select 'safe mode' and hit enter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Log onto the admin account, and then scan for everything. :wink:

Ok I will try that. Can I ask what doing it in safemode will do?

Starting your pc in safe mode means that it only starts the vital system processes, so that any malware (usually) doesn't get started up. This makes it easier to remove, as some malware stops you from deleting it when in regular windows mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, the hijackthis log which you present to us should be from running hijackthis in normal windows, as running it in safe mode would of course tell us very little :)

  • 2 weeks later...

Ok so I had run all of those programs like I was told and then when I got up this morning and tried to log in it would take my password again. I WAS HACKED AGAIN! I don't understand how this happened. Obviously when I ran the programs they missed something, but I remember the one saying it found the keylog. I don't know what to do. I've lost everything...again! I had to borrow things from people and now they are stolen. I feel like an idiot. I refuse to waste anymore time on this game if I am just going to keep getting hacked. I don't know what to do.

YOU STILL HAVEN'T POSTED A HIJACKTHIS LOG!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I suggest you do as you have been told many times already. This will allow us to see what is running on your computer, therefore we can see if there is a VIRUS, KEYLOGGER, or TROJAN running :roll: :roll: :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We can't help you if you don't do as we ask

Yes you were foolish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The file she sent you was a keylogger it recorded your password when you logged in, since you were already logged in she could not login to your account so she told you to meet her in a diffrent world this was so you would have logout allowing her to login with your stolen account.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bandwith is cheap these days as a result there are plenty of good image hosts around http://www.imageshack.ws/ next time get people to upload the image and send you a link.

Oooookay... not pretty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Go to My computer -> control panel -> add/remove programs. See if there's anything called "Windows TaskAd," "SearchUpgrader" or "SurfSideKick" if so, uninstall them. Restart your pc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next, this is important. Move the Hijackthis[Caution: ExecutableFile] file to a new location so it has it's own folder. Eg: C:\Program Files\Hijackthis\Hijackthis[Caution: ExecutableFile].

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you were able to remove Windows TaskAd, SearchUpgrader and SurfSideKick through ad/remove programs, then skip a step here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If not, hit ctrl+alt+del and end task on these processes: WinTaskAd[Caution: ExecutableFile] and WinSched[Caution: ExecutableFile]. If they're not there, go into Hijackthis and then "config." Click "misc tools" and then "open process manager" If WinTaskAd[Caution: ExecutableFile] or WinSched[Caution: ExecutableFile] are in them, kill them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then go to hijackthis, scan and fix the following entries:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [*] C:\WINDOWS\system32\*[Caution: Executable File]

 

 

 

O20 - Winlogon Notify: * - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\*.dll

 

 

 

If you know what it is, then leave it, if you don't know what it is, erm, pm me and find a way to get around the censor. But be aware that this is very naughty ;) (but you don't mind do you grin? :P ...or do you?)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then resart your pc and post another log.

ah, the beauty of ghosting :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

my advice?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You have an updated copy of win XP, so it is most likely legal. This means to me that you most likely have a newer machine, probably with a cd burner.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Take all your personal files (i.e pics, music, documents....no programs) and burn them to CD.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then use the recovery disks that came with your computer to do a fresh install of everything.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ruls of thumb in the IT industry is: If it takes you longer to fix the system than it would to do a fresh install or a re-image, then do the fresh install or re-image.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For me that is about 20 minutes. So if i have to work on something longer than 20 minutes, I just re-image. Too easy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now some poeple are more stubborn than that, but the bottom line is you should wipe your machine at least twice a year anyway, just for GP (general purpose). As long as you have a good back-up method, this is too easy.

Do you mean like reformatting it? Or not going that drastic. I'm afraid to get rid of things cuz I'm not good with computers and I"m afraid I"ll do it wrong and mess it up worse. The computer is new and it does have a CD burner.
