Title: Forum messaging - Malware?
Post by: E.Sam on June 17, 2014, 12:30:13 PM
Got this message:

Hello!
Please have a look at my new game. It's a Bitcoin inspired Action-RPG Game where you can earn REAL bitcoins by doing quests. It's still beta, and I really need some feedback! Does it run smoothly on your PC? It won't take you more than 5 minutes! Help us to make this game the best it can be! Thank you in advance!

All signs points towards a malware. If someone wants to have a look at the code...

Don't have time now to check the file, but I got the same message from user "danmeki".

Never execute this program on a computer that contains anything valuable, especially crypto wallets!

1) Brand new account
2) Sending you a link for executable
3) My computer immediately detected it as a virus and deleted it.

Can OP delete the link before some newbies click on it?

I reported it to BadBear a few hours ago.

We should hear a response soon.

EDIT

The Mods have deleted the PM. :)
