Post by: batesresearch on June 06, 2015, 04:20:29 PM
Seems like a suspicious email is being sent out, received today at 16:53 to a email address I rarely use;


From   contact@adesignaward.com

Hi peter,

This is our unencrypted private key backup for the wallet of (BTC 97.7200134) keep a paper copy of the privkey in a safe place and remove this message.

Password: 5q263aQR947648A

Obviously a virus in that rar. I wonder if they got your email from the forum hack? Was it the same email associated here?

I can pretty much guarantee that backup.rar will contain a very nasty payload and absolutely no BTC.
Do not open......

That's what I thought but it isn't no. I will check through my list later to see where I used that email address! Yep I have such a list!

Talk to me!

lol - I've heard that they may be planning a film of Facejacker!

.rar file = suspicious; don't click. Same with .jar attachments. This little rule of thumb saved me from disaster many times.
