Title: Coindesk malware hijacked?
Post by: Grix on April 11, 2014, 04:56:57 PM
I just tried to enter this link:  coindeskDOTus/cd/chicago-sun-times-gets-11-new-subscriptions-bitcoin/ , and immediately my antivirus displayed a warning saying that a trojan had been blocked. Not simply a suspicious file or anything, but a confirmed trojan by the looks of it. Coindesk might be hijacked and spreading malware, be careful.

Here are the details from my AV, which is Avast:
Code:
URL:	        h_sten-ex_hr__6396_xap|kind_dll
Infection:	MSIL:FiestaEK-C [Trj]
http://www.avast.com/no-no/lp-fr-virus-alert?p_ext=&utm_campaign=Virus_alert&utm_source=prg_fav_90_0&utm_medium=prg_systray&utm_content=.%2Ffa%2Fno-no%2Fvirus-alert-default&p_vir=MSIL:FiestaEK-C%20[Trj]&p_prc=C:\Program%20Files%20%28x86%29\Pale%20Moon\palemoon.exe&p_obj=h_sten-ex_hr__6396_xap|kind_dll&p_var=.%2Ffa%2Fno-no%2Fvirus-alert-default&p_elm=7&p_lex=162&p_lid=no-no&p_lng=nb&p_lqa=0&p_lqe=0&p_lst=0&p_lsu=24&p_pro=0&p_bld=empty&p_vep=9&p_ves=0&p_vbd=2013&p_hid=7001976d-9a1d-4dcb-a912-99d939f654b0&p_ram=4093&p_cpu=7%2C5

What AV and OS are you on?

EDIT: it looks like you are using coindesk DOT us  the correct URL is coindesk.com

Feel free to report to google: http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish

CoinDesk.com is the correct URL.

How is anyone finding the .us domain?

Please report those using / posting it.
