VA2K's ICQ Compromised?
 

Someone using his ICQ # sent me a rapidshare .exe file to download, and logged off. Just a heads up.

that is just so lame to do :)

I also just got one from Aly-TBP.

I got one from va2k.

On an unrelated topic, I HATE rapidshare

I didn't get anything like that from him, right now it's showing him off line.

rapdishare.exe, yes, I would execute that one for sure

I got the same thing...

Here's the number i got mine from, looks like it is Aly's ICQ: 51-504-163

va2k sent me the same link , must be a virus or a bot or something oh well

I got the same message from someone not on my list.. Must be an icq exploit...

Weird, Tom's on my ICQ and I didn't get it. Seems like I would have if everyone on his ICQ is getting them though.

just got off the phone with Tom (Va2K).

He said he got a link this morning from Corvette, naturally he clicked without thinking. He then saw some shit he could not understand, had the chance to send a wtf message to Corvette, before icq logged off. He can not get back into his icq. Tried for a chunk of the morning until he was late for a shoot. He is still shooting, i.e. why I am responding.

Seems like he lost his icq, which is also costing him money, since he had some jobs due and pending from icq users. So if you had recently hired him or used him in the past, he is not flaking on you. He can not find your info.
Please do email him at sales @ knockboots.com with your info.

One again he apologizes.

Bump so people can see what happened.

I don't use the actual ICQ client but he should be able to get into his logs. It's a pain in the ass but he can probably re-add everyone to a new number and transfer the log files to that folder so he knows what is going on.

Yeah I told him that. He will start in on it when he is done with the shoot.
Still he would need a new number which is a pain in the ass biz wise. Not to mention he has a few pending orders that are near due. He does not want to sort of vanish on them people while he tries to restore what he can.

Yeah it's shitty. Might check ebay for the number in a week though. :helpme

Problem is he is fairly certain he got it from Corvette from ccbill, and lee claims Aly sent him one. Seems this attack is spreading though the adult sector. So be very mindful of any messages, no matter whom sent them.

Obviously a worm

I think whats happening is that whoever clicks the link, sends it on to a person on their current ICQ list then they lose control of their ICQ as i havent seen Mark on ICQ all day which is strange.

I just got the same thing from him.. but it was an autorization I declined..

My ICQ got compromised today too!!

It was saying that someone is using my ICQ number on another computer. I re-logged back in to log off the other fucker and they re-logged back in. I re-logged again and changed the password. It was ok since. So I wonder which poor bastard got any files from me now.

oh shit hacked icq is never good....

Apparently my ICQ sent out a bunch of those links and then just shut off. I use Trillian and never clicked on anyone's link. Yahoo has those too and I learned a long time ago to never click a link through a chat program unless you know the person who sent it to you actually sent it.

So don't blame the person who sent it to you, they may have had absolutely nothing to do with it, not even carelessness. It's a problem with ICQ.

And that is the problem, these are people we know.

yes I got one from you don and it said to click the link because it was really really funny. I remembered this thread and figured you would never send me an exe file.. so didnt click on it.. oddly .. someone did reply when I sent it over

We need to keep this thread on the front page.

grrrrrrrrrrr I hope no one got screwed up from my account, I got it from Corvette I had just woke up 6am and seeing it was from him I had no worries on clicking it, couldn't fig out what the hell it was so I closed it and deleted it, went on with the morning, taking kids to school then off to the gym WISHED I stayed in the gym lol but NO hard feelings towards Corvette at all, and hope no one has them towards me.. I do have a new icq number if you got a request from me please allow it, 372-898-192 Va2kTom *shrugs*


ok back to encoding todays shoot.
Thanks Brujah for warning people :) I can not find your icq can u icq me when you get a chance< and After Shock Media thanks dude for letting everyone know. Have fun bbl
