Well Mcafee can't find anything, also scanned my other computer which runs AVG and it also can't find anything. I suppose its safe but I'm paranoid as hell right now. I don't even dare opening MEW or any other exchange website, I keep thinking that my anti-virus must have missed something.
I looked online into phising and supposedly they can also inject some malware/spyware into your browser upon visiting a website, but I suppose my anti-virus would pick it up?
Nothing bad on being paranoid (in some reasonable boundaries). The problem is the virus is always first and tools to stop and cure it comes later. I just hope you was not unlucky enough to be among first infected.
I didn't calm you much, huh?
:|
not really no... but the website was targeted at me filling out sensitive info.. so I suppose a virus is a little far fetched if the website is designed specifically for me to voluntairly give up information?
I'm sorry for that.
Yea, agree. Most probably wanted your personal data only (pass or w/e)
Just idea .. there are also some web malware scanners (not sure how good they are). Just put the link in and they scan it for threats. (be careful this time not opening the link ... use righ button and copy rather than selecting it with mouse)
Already deleted the whole thing so I wouldn't accidently press it again... no idea what the site was it had this infamous ''.'' on one of the letters, seen it a lot of with Etherdelta links where they put a dot under the h.
The whole thing was really bad english aswell, I know that its fairly easy for anyone without any technical skills with the help of a program to duplicate sites and then host them under a different name.
I personally think it was some low income country(English was horrible, 1st redflag) that just duplicated a website and tried to be clever to get me to follow the next link to a fake MEW as the article was about parity bug being found in every other ethereum wallet except for MEW and that I should go check really quick, making a transfer to check if it still works.
Atleast my reasoning is calming me down.. thank god for logic huh? It really relaxes me the more I think and try to rationalize what happened to understand what I was exposed to.
Anyway I did download and run some programs such as CCleaner and MalwareBytes (which was recommended as a really good one) MalwareBytes found 1 threat but nothing that I recognize that could have been from that phising site and its deleted now.
I am going to increase security though as this was fucking scary, especially since I had a really good day trading and I can't stand to think I'd lose that money....
