Malicious - Take Care (This is REAL)
At ExtraTorrent.com we try to inform you of what helps you get the best out of using your computer system in relation with our site.
What you are about to read is quite disturbing and people actually do this, causing other computer users to loose data, ruin systems and even businesses.
Computer users who are out to ruin computer systems could send you an E-mail with the subject of “your Online Life is Not Private”.
So you open up the E-mail and it reads:
QUOTE
“Do you trade files online? Then they will come after you. Search the news for RIAA and see what they are doing to people like you. Tor eliminates the trail that leads to you. Use this software to protect your privacy and your right to use the net. Download Tor [URL removed]” we removed the link for security (this is real)The link lead to a malware infested version of the file sharing app Tor, do not follow the link or download any files from that site!
Our admin staff at ExtraTorrent.com have reason to believe that a Worm E-mail might also be sent with much the same information except it reads “I see you on youtube. You naked there! Go look here.[URL removed]” (We removed the link for Security) The link will state “YouTube.com” but it actually links you to a server riddled with viruses and then you can kiss your computer system goodbye.
Our admin staff at ExtraTorrent.com have reason to believe that a Worm E-mail might also be sent with much the same information except it reads “We welcome any comments on any of our reports we issue for informational purposes, if you know something like this that we haven’t reported, please tell us and we can inform our community and other computer users alike.
