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

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.

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 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...



@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.

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)

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.

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:

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>
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.

[morvillz7z]

^ 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.

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.

[Mrengage]

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?

[Mrengage]

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

[Mrengage]

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.

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

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.

[Mrengage]

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

Today at 09:26:50 AM - bbvedf - password changed

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.
