Title: Malware WAR in Altcoin mining subforum Post by: Toughit on December 13, 2021, 02:43:57 PM I spent the last hour or so in the Altcoin Mining subforum reading new posts (procrastinating), and ran into "LHR" malware posts.
In the span of about 1 hour I reported 28 cases (28 posts in the hour were LHR malware). I never realized it was so bad! During that time period there were just 4 VALID posts related to mining. 4 good, 28 malware. They must be successful (making money) as it must take time to create these ID's Question: Is it worth reporting these to the moderator?

Just like me as soon as I see one of those posts I report immediately as scammer/malware posts. Yes it is still worth reporting them so moderators can put up some sort of a filter for these psts.

I constantly report fraudulent links to moderators and posts are quickly removed.In the span of about 1 hour I reported 28 cases (28 posts in the hour were LHR malware).

All newbies should know that there is no need to download miners from links from posts of ordinary users. Every famous miner has its own theme and all the links you need can be found in the first post. |
