Title: Fake Mt. Gox emails Post by: PrintCoins on May 25, 2012, 05:38:40 PM So I have received two baited emails in the last two days. I am only going to guess that the crackers are using the leaked db emails from the security failure in gox from a while back, and many other people should watch out for them.
Today's email: Code: info@mtgox.com via km33.hostsila.org And yesterday's email (if you click the link it will bring you to a page which has an auto-download for a likely infected xls file): Code: info@ecurrencyinfo.net via carens.websitewelcome.com I am sure they will send many more messages trying to infect my machine or reveal my gox password (amusingly I have never had any money in gox). Just watch out, and be suspicious of all emails. If anyone feels semi-vigilantie, feel free to whois the domains and track down the ips to shut down these sites. I am a little geek-overloaded with other stuff today. Title: Re: Fake Mt. Gox emails Post by: boonies4u on May 25, 2012, 06:21:05 PM So I have received two baited emails in the last two days.

I've received my fair share of fake MtGox emails, spam, and typical newsletter/PSO mail. Title: Re: Fake Mt. Gox emails Post by: Raoul Duke on May 25, 2012, 06:55:26 PM I don't think so. I have my email in that leaked database and never ever got one of those :-\

Ah... Mistery solved. Gmail flushes them and they don't even reach the spam folder. Mine is a gmail also. Title: Re: Fake Mt. Gox emails Post by: n0ne on May 25, 2012, 10:18:59 PM I got one these.

Thank you once again for the continued support to Mt.Gox. Title: Re: Fake Mt. Gox emails Post by: flatfly on May 26, 2012, 08:09:02 AM I don't think so.

Ah... Mistery solved. Gmail flushes them and they don't even reach the spam folder. Mine is a gmail also. Just curious, how did you determine that Gmail deletes them automatically? The same way Gmail determined that I should change my password 10 minutes after the leaked MtGox database got posted. You really think it's a coincidence that everybody who's on the leaked database gets MtGox phishing emails, except Gmail users? And, yes, I'm sure they're not in the spam folder because I have the terrible habit of checking it every day, so they must have been deleted. Or will you go as far as saying that the phisher skips my email(and Clipse's for that matter) just because I'm a nice guy? lol Also, it's not cost efective to send MtGox phishing emails to emails scraped from the web, or from a completely unrelated list as it will significantly increase exposure to spam filters, thus lowering inboxing rates, while having a very low hit rate of potential victims. I can understand if they do that with paypal phishing emails, but not with MtGox. I always got bugged why wasn't I getting those emails, but now that I see other Gmail user confirming he doesn't get those emails also I just added 2+2. Title: Re: Fake Mt.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=83496.0 It's a trojan, as per ZodiacDragon's post in the other thread. Quote Trojan.Generic.KDV.102762 is a trojan that captures keystrokes and steals login credentials through a method known as form grabbing. It sends captured data to a remote attacker and is capable of downloading additional malicious components. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=83496.msg920797#msg920797 |
