Title: Uesr:mannrammortre Game:CoinRPG Wallet stealing trojan? Post by: DannyHamilton on June 16, 2014, 02:35:31 PM Just received an unsolicited PM from a brand new, mannrammortre (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=344178), user with 0 post history. They are suggesting that I try their new Windows based game, and are requesting beta testers. I assume they are sending out a flood of these PMs to as many users as they can?
There doesn't appear to be any source code available to review. I don't run Windows, so I can't beta test for them, but I can't help but wonder if it's a wallet stealing trojan (or a mining trojan) designed to trick people into installing it to help "beta test the game". Use extreme caution if you received a similar PM and decide that you want to assist them with their beta test of closed source bitcoin related software.

You could also leave negative as well so others hopefully see it before they're duped into checking it ou . It's very likely it was a wallet stealer. Was it the same 'game' as this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=645094.0 ?

Post by: DannyHamilton on June 16, 2014, 03:34:46 PM Was it the same 'game' as this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=645094.0 ? Yes. That's it. Given that it has been identified as malicious, I'm locking this thread, and leaving negative feedback for the user. |
