Stay Out Of The Homeless Porn Thread
There is an image link in several posts that will try to push a coin mining script on you.
The image url in question points at xxgasm dot com. It goes 403 or 404 and tries to push the script on you. I don't think the person who posted it meant to do it. I think they were just trying to link to an image. Not sure about that part, just a guess. You have been warned. Admin has been notified. Back to our normal broadcasting. . |
I just realized that my Norton is blocking the attack so I do NOT really know that status of the page coming back.
I am not seeing any image so I assumed the url was 404 but I am probably not seeing anything because antivirus is blocking it. On my phone the image url in question goes 404. I do NOT know if the script gets loaded there or not. . |
This is what I see

It doesn't matter what you see.
The link to the xxgasm image is throwing an attack on my computer. I have no idea about anybody else's computer. That particular image url is triggering 2 attacks in a row for 2 different versions of a coinmining script. Look at the attacker url below. That is the image that you embedded from the xxgasm site. It is not coming from my computer. I assume other people are either getting it blocked or it is infecting them. I don't know for sure about anybody but me. http://www.madspiders.com/images/attack1.jpg http://www.madspiders.com/images/attack2.jpg . |
Thanks for the heads up. If I'm going to mine coins, I'd rather do it for myself :thumbsup

Yeah it looks like xxgasm.com is riddled with viruses. Sorry but no warnings came up posting that image from my phone. I think your Norton is blocking you from anything from that domain, not that the image itself delivers a virus or coining script
|
Dude.
The attacking URL is where the attack came from. The blocking went into affect in response to the attack. Norton then puts that ip address on time out for 30 minutes. The image URL you posted is where the attack originated from. The images I posted show what happened. Norton blocked the coinmining scripts from being loaded. The url trying to load them is the image url you posted. There are 2 different scripts the site is trying to download. It is quite simple. Norton is NOT blocking anything from xxgasm until the attack occurs. READ the images I put up there. . |
You are trippin
Cryptojacking is when a webpage loads a mining javascript. Norton is flagging any elements from that domain. The image is not loading a script. Anyway, it's good people know to stay away 👍 Thank you 🤗 |
Thanks sarettah. Pretty ugly thread anyway, and this just makes it much worse.

You are the one doing the tripping. I hit the image url with a curl call using a referal of gfy.com and the following code comes back. The page returns a 403 and then attempts to load a script through a custom 403 page. Code:
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden |

These are delivered through infected image files or by clicking on links leading to a malicious site. Such attacks tend to target enterprise networks, IBM found, so get in touch with your IT person for help. If your system is infected, you should detect a degradation in performance, in which case fire up Activity Monitor or Task Manager to check your CPU usage. You can then identify the process that?s eating up all those compute cycles and terminate it from your resource monitor, says Dave McMillen of IBM Managed Security Services, who authored the research on secret crypto miners." |

I think that this version of it would only run when you had the webpage open. Not 100% sure on that but I think so. So, it might not be as malicious in intent. But I have a problem with anything running on my system without my permission. If someone wants to mine coins instead of run advertising they should announce that instead of just loading it up. . |

I see the attack also, looks like a crypto miner is making a killing off all of Bladewires posting.
