Bought a $2,449 Monitor - Techdepot

Or so it seems.

Got a mail from techdepot.com to my business mail saying I ordered a $2,449 monitor november 24th with my creditcard.

First of all, I never heard of the site,
second I don't even have $200 on my card right now so up yours scammer.

Good thing I keep my money under my madrass:thumbsup

All jokes aside, I never feel good when I get mail like these..
I don't even wanna fill in the order ID and track it. Is the site legit?

Anybody else got a mail like this?

ok, here's something else I found on a blog:

Quote:

So you're sitting there scratching your head thinking "What order?" Boy oh boy… I sure as heck didn't oder no stinkin $2,449.99 Sony VAIO from Circuit City!

Really makes ya wanna open that zip file to see if you've been had, right?

The supposed PDF attachment is really an executable named 37679041.exe, which is detected by AV vendors by various names. Kaspersky named it Backdoor.Win32.Haxdoor.lf. Symantec detects it as Backdoor.Haxdoor.R and others are calling it a variant of Goldun. Whatever you call it, it's quite an evil piece of malware. Haxdoor typically uses rootkit technology to mask itself. Haxdoor is known to steal passwords, give a remote attacker access to the machine, may display advertising and often makes changes to the registry that lower system security. Some variants also disable software firewalls and anti-virus apps. McAfee has a report here.
