Additional Notes
- The original Ulord Project has no ANN in bitcointalk forum.
- The scammer is not affiliated with the original project and therefore he is trying to impersonate them to spread malware

Github profile and Ann reported

Good find.

I'm almost 100% sure this one is connected with HyperCash [HC] the one that I exposed yesterday.

There are 3 more projects like this one currently being posted in Announcements (Altcoins). I'm just waiting for someone to safely VPS test these wallets, all GitHub profiles are fake, created in the last 3-4 days.

[ANN] [PoW] V-Dimension (VOLLAR) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5141557.0)

[ANN] [ERC20] DUO Network Token (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5141552.0)

[ANN] [PoW/PoS] Nasdacoin (NSD) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5141546.0)

I noticed an increase in those type of fake projects with malicious/virus wallets, etc. Maybe it is a way of scammers to retaliate because their projects were caught. (?)
This person (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5141208.0)was caught copying another project, he deleted the thread and opened a new one. Now someone just posted that there is a virus - I didnt find - maybe you can double check.

This could very well be the reason behind all these fake ANN. It almost feels as like forum is under attack.  :-\

Just look at recently created ones, all 5 of them...

https://i.ibb.co/NYsjjXX/sds.jpg

@OP they have created another topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5141572.0

---

---

HyperCash just got brand new ann, I wish theymos could go after those idiots and wipe them out.

 

Here, another one: W3Coin ($ 32.6 million sales) (maybe copying the real project?)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5141391.0

They most certainly are using someone's project to inject malicious wallets, just like all other projects mentioned in this topic.

Fake GitHub is created just 9 hours ago: https://github.com/W3Coin-Software

Real one: https://github.com/w3coin

---

They are throwing one account after another, a third ANN thread opened for Ulord(UT).

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5141597.0 (archived (http://archive.fo/v6I8y))

This time it's started by a senior member, I guess they have unlimited number of accounts to do this. Well, I can promise them I have unlimited time and desire to -ve tag each one of them.

---

EDIT;


All three, as expected, tested positive for malware:

Nasdacoin (ann archive (http://archive.fo/HBrVf))


DUO Network Token (ann archive (http://archive.fo/LL5X1))


V-Dimension (VOLLAR) (ann archive (http://archive.fo/rl4B8))


Big thanks to TakeItEasy, I will tag and report them all tomorrow.

---

EDIT2;

I can pretty much confirm all these ANNs are started by the same Russian scammers I've been chasing for over a month now.
Look which image hosting websites they use to upload their stolen screens at:

https://i.ibb.co/mbtxBYL/cleb-v-dimension.jpg
https://i.ibb.co/VqCvLMM/Daglo-Nasda.jpg
https://i.ibb.co/44mtmgQ/james-HCash.jpg
https://i.ibb.co/khnmps7/nonontech-DUO-Network-Token.jpg
https://i.ibb.co/YbTDd7j/yey09-Ulord.jpg

I think that's because many people trust by default the files coming from Github.
Also, even if most of the file is compressed, an "Open Source" word is used to gain some trust.
There are some tips from the forum about this topic -----> Just because It’s on GitHub. It doesn’t mean it’s safe> (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5139034.msg50883025#msg50883025)
I hope that others report these pages to Gihub and Bitcointalk staff (malicious/virus wallets.)

the OP for that ANN above (V-Dimension) deleted all his post, and opened a new thread here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5141978.0
https://archive.is/scRz7

That person knows what he is doing - spreading virus/malicious software.

^ Yeah, I know...I will use this thread to report the rest of the fake ANN/GitHubs, there are 4-5 of them left.

I will update my post shortly!

There are two new fake ANNs posted by the same Russian scammers, I just need someone to safely test wallets first.

[ANN][ERC20] MultiVAC (MTV) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5141976.0) - (archived (http://archive.fo/AY0ZN))

[ANN] [Proof of Work] MIR COIN (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5141968.0) - (archived (http://archive.fo/Tsb7V))

https://i.ibb.co/NTTgRhR/hcahs2.jpg

Good job fellas.
Their new Ann are invalid now. Sorry I wasn't so much only for the past 36 hours but i am now back.

By the way looks like the person behind this kind of scam really farmed so many accounts before or hacked them because the accounts used are mostly member accounts and now we are seeing senior member accounts. Very rarely have i seen a newbie account being used lately.

I am going to create a thread to track all these kind of fake Ann scams starting this coming week. I will also dedicate my time to fight off this malware scammer.

Good job but why giving me a red trust when I haven't took part in any thing of GitHub viruses on the system.

You posted ANN thread for Ulord and links to fake GitHub with infected wallets.

I believe this is the thread, which is now deleted: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5141572.0

Does anyone have it archived somewhere?

https://i.ibb.co/NYsjjXX/sds.jpg

https://i.ibb.co/TWBmrGG/ulord2.jpg

Dam that was a long ago it happen due to this ACC was hacked, I just got it back and getting to see all this

I can repeat my self this ACC was hacked I was even logout completely.

You think you are a smart?
You deleted the topic and then came here claiming you never announced it

On the screenshot your name is clearly there on the Fake Ann.

---

For starters
1. When was your account hacked?
2. How did you get it back?
3. When did you regain control of your account?

I'm not trying to defend him but there is another user who earlier today reported that he was temporarily hacked: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5141746

I was due to send theymos a msg tomorrow and see if there is indeed unusual activity (as in different IP logs) around both accounts.

At first I wasn't able to login this account it was showing wrong password and when I finally get in I got to see this I wasn't even online yesterday to make a post I can't even make a post and get it of so quickly. Check this account well sir.

I won't have to lie definitely I was hacked because this account I saved it remember me I don't have to login offended. I was surprised I was logout when I opened my browser and I try to login I got a wrong password and when I tried again it went through and the next thing I saw was a Red trust.

I was unable to login this account today that this INCIDENT took place and its still today that the post was made. Definitely this ACCOUNT WAS HACKED!

Let me give you a benefit of doubt. Assuming you were not able to login, that means your password was changed right?
Why is it that on the seclog, there is nothing to show that your password was change?
BPIP too has no information showing that your password was changed recently

Look I am no hater or anything like that, I am just trying to reason

---

Maybe that could work too.
By the way i don't know much Spanish yet, so i don't know what really happened on that other guy's story but what i see on BPIP and Seclog is only one passowrd change that happened today


And by change, it's just "password change" so i am wondering how he could have been able to access his account to change the password if he already wasn't able to log in.

I believe this proof will let you know that those 5 ACCs where HACKED and used to make those post in a roll. Please sir look in this issues. I know nothing about this and if I was to post that topic definitely I will reply to those who replied the post. For example I would have in courage them to invest. Now look at the other hand the post I didn't even see it and secondly it was deleted at that moment.

Yes because it showed me wrong password

And secondly I don't logout my account from my browser
It's always login but was surprised when I opened my browser and the ACC was logged out.

I get it you are basically doing your job to get scammers. Which is a good thing to know but right here sir I didn't make that post and this ACC was hacked I don't logout my account from my browser. But was surprised when I opened my browser what I saw was BITCOINTALK HOME PAGE. AND THE ACCOUNT WAS LOGOUT

I've sent theymos a PM about your case and bbvedf. If I get a confirmation from him that there was indeed an unusual activity surrounding your account (as in login from different IPs / devices), I will remove my negative tag, until then there is nothing much you can do. We have to wait.  :)

No problem... I will be waiting

Alright, let's wait for Theymos' response.
If, you account was hacked then you really need to secure it and that starts with changing passwords which you haven't done up to now since the said hack.

@bbvedf is from my local board, and has opened a thread there to try to get some help on the matter (see  Ayuda con mi cuenta de BCT (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5141746.msg51002572#msg51002572) – it’s in Spanish though). The way he’s depicting the events, he claims that he was “silently hacked”. That is to say, someone gained access to his account, using his same credentials (not changing them), and published the fake Ann thread from his account. If true, that would be the best way to use an account for wrong doing, although it does constitute a very difficult case to prove.

It also likely denotes a weak password management, as for this to happen without brute force, he would have to have used the same password in a crypto related site and have the password leaked from there. That alone is arguably irresponsible to some extent, but I’m pretty sure there are thousands of users here that use the same password on a couple of sites.

The only possible way to move on with trying to clear @bbvedf’s claims (which are very similar to @Mrengage’s) would be for both of the to ask @theymos for their access logs for the date of events, and see what that may show. It certainly will not be conclusive, but may show something interesting (i.e. common IPs from Russia for example – again not conclusive, but opens a door to suspicion).

Looking at the archived thread (http://archive.fo/yfa4D), I believe tagging the accounts is correct (how not to, seeing the evidence), but it would be good to know if we are facing a couple of more intelligent account hacks here, where the accounts are only taken temporarily without changing the credentials. It’s likely nearly impossible to prove this were it to be true, but the IP logs could help to raise suspicion or drown it altogether.

Of course making IP log retrieval a general habit would be a pain in the back side, and likely won’t be done except on an rare occasions, but perhaps it’s worth a go here to see what it may lead to.

If I get to change this account password yesterday it won't give a proof that I wasn't the one that posted that topic I will need to get access to my IP logs from theymos so I compare the activities that took place on this account the day the account was hacked.

Definitely I go by what you said here this alone can happen to more  other users in the platform if it's not taking care of.

Where I suspected this account was slightly hacked and used to make that post is where I open my browser and the account wasn't login rather it was just the normal bitcointalk.org interface I saw. I was surprised.

I don't want to start a new thread for every fake ANN with malicious wallets so I will be making a MEGA thread by the end of the week. Will list every single one of them in chronological order and update it daily. In my estimation, there are +30 already (all created in the past 30 days).

Ones I've spotted today (will tag and report whenever I get more info about wallets):

These guys had a field day yesterday with all-time high in created fake announcement threads. I counted 28. :o

Way more relaxed today as I found just one (there could be more) but this one was way too obvious.

[ANN][PoW][X16R] Zyrk - Pushing the boundaries of blockchain technology (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5144229.0) - (archived (http://archive.fo/7o221))

And their fake GitHub created just a few hours ago: https://github.com/release-coin

Original Zyrk thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5139507.0

https://github.com/ZyrkProject/zyrk-core

They even tried to hide/mask it:

Interesting to point out, account (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=55960) posting their thread is from 2012 (woke up May 16th), I suppose a brand new batch of compromised accounts.

Tagged & reported. These fake ANNs are becoming a bit of a problem....

Yes, they've been a problem for a while now...and it's not just fake ANN, these people use compromised accounts which appears to be the bigger issue here.

I honestly have no problem reporting a few of those every day, but not 20+, that's just crazy and takes way too much time and energy.

Forum administration seems to be aware of the problem though, that's a positive sign!

Good work @Morvillz7z, looks like the mods are doing a good job right now and also responding in time to delete the scammer's threads once they are reported.
I did try to report their GitHub profiles too including this one; https://github.com/MultiVAC
but for some reason, it is not getting removed, I don't know why?
I did include information about the scammer trying to spread malware alongside the virus total results.

Does the process take a long time before the account gets removed?

I would say anywhere between one to three days. My experience with GitHub support has been quite good so far, I think I have taken down 3 or 4 of those fake ones. HyperCash-HC was removed within 24hrs of my report.

Make sure your report has all the details, you need to include links to both infected wallet and virustotal. As for MultiVAC, ask TakeItEasy to test their latest two repository uploads - "Core" and "Release". Report these two.

Edit;

Update: May 21, 2019, GitHub is taken down!

Great work. They are added to my scam list too.

As a community we need to weed out these thieves no matter how big or small their scam operation is and no matter what their ultimate goal or plan is.

If we all get together to keep posting about the scammers then they have less and less chance of succeeding by ripping people off. Unfortunately somewhere along the line a newbie or gullible person will invest and lose out but by far the majority of people will be protected.

What do you mean added to your list? The real Ulord (UT) project/team has nothing to do with this scam accusations.

The ANN in the OP was posted from a hacked account with fake GitHub and everything, simply impersonating their project. There were hundreds of those fake announcement threads for the last couple of months.

Great job thank you for keeping us all safe
