MALWARE has been posted on bitcointa.lk and cryptocointalk.com


I would like to inform all users that malware has been posted on this site.

Only download from official sites, not links on forums.

The malware was also posted on,

https://bitcointa.lk/threads/ann-x11-cpu-32-bit-miner-darkcoin-32-bit-cpu-mining.317307/
https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/11309-darkcoin-32-bit-miner-x11-32-bit-cpu-mining/


DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE LINK AT MEGA THAT HAS THIS AT THE END.

The malware will install a trojan into system32 folder called systemd.exe.
It will also modify your registry to start this malware.

If anyone can alert the devs of this forum and ask them to forward details to local police as
thefts of crypto coin have already taken place.

READ THIS POST FROM A VICTIM.

I tried to post at bitcointa.lk but the FF plug in would not install.

An update, the team at cryptocointalk have deleted the post and banned the user.

They acted lightning fast.

It was just posted here too, but I think all posts from bitcointa.lk are synced here.

Oh, and don't download files from newbs.

I don't download anything anyway, but do you use bitcointa.lk or you use this forum? For me this one is more clear and easy for me but when the full update Is made  I might switch.

I just use this forum. I'm used to it now, plus bitcointa.lk doesn't seem that different to me. Looking forward to what the new software is like though.

If someone fell for it and install some dubious software from unknown source they are digging their own grave. No warning is better than common sense. So just use your brain.

I'd like to thank you for making post, but that actually surprises me then. How is github as popular as it is? It seems like one is taking a HUGE risk downloading from them.

Yes, that's true. Bitcointa.lk also show deleted threads and posts, too. So most likely, that post won't be deleted on there, though, unless somebody contacts the Owner of it.
