Spyware : Michelle Obama’s Ta’s Ta’s Video

Paul1 Reply

I love this one, I was reading the Sans Report about Michelle Obama Ta’s Ta’s on Video.  I wanted to investigate this a little further so I went searching around.  I found some comment spam links to a site I will not talk about the links directly.  The site however had a fake video on it :

It looks like if you hit Cancel or Details it keeps trying to tell you need to install an ActiveX Object.   It also makes the user think that there is only one option to use right now.   As you can tell  it makes you think you can’t cancel or get details but I did.  I tried to cancel and it kept on popping up trying to get you to install this active X installer.   AVG detects it as:

[ad]This proves the fact that any Anti-virus software is better than nothing at all.   I also  have talked in the past about [intlink id=”2991″ type=”post”]fake codecs and how they are used maliciously[/intlink] to spread malware to people who aren’t up to the job.   I didn’t take long to find Phrases such as “Michelle Obama Topless” or “Michelle Obama Topless Video” to find spam comments linking to sites that are hosting these types of malware.  It seemed that in order to get out of the cycle with the Malware site, I had to do a CLT-ALT-DELETE and End the process of Internet Explorer process from Task manager.  It was an infinite loop and could not be closed any other way.  upon trying to go the link again it seems to be a random redirection every time you visit that site the next time I went there, I had a scare message pop up telling me:

As you can tell this [intlink id=”3397″ type=”post”]pops up with scareware[/intlink] instead of the video and tries to tell you have a virus and you should run a free scan from the site of their choice.   This is an old tactic and still being used but funny if you look at that message one you know it is from a “Webpage” and two there are at least one grammar error?  Can you see it?

You’re best bet is not to go clicking on links that people have left in comments.   I am so glad I have moderation turned on and I have to approve each and every post someone comments on.   This is the only way I know how to prevent from being used in the spam campaign.  Remember it is time to update your [intlink id=”2205″ type=”page”]Anti-virus and Firewall [/intlink]if you don’t already have it.  Don’t forget to visit the Forums and help discuss this problem in detail.

Oh My I got the Presidents Attention!!

Paul

I just got an email telling me:

Barack H Obama (PresidentBarak) is now following your updates on Twitter.

So I go to the click the link and I see this:

After checking out the profile I see that it has a link to a site that basically asking for your personal address and your email account. After I go check the site I see in really small catch you have to pay 3.95 for Shipping and Handling. Well You know what they say, nothing ever is Free. This looks to be a way to get email addresses to spam in the long run. I wouldn’t give them any information because this is looking to be a scam and I hate scams. You best bet is to go on with your life and report this spam to twitter. This however got my attention because of the who it was, and that is probably why they chose the name. It is however quite funny. 🙂

Do you have the Obama Worm?

Paul

So I sit here reading about the Obama Worm from PcWorld. Asking myself what type of worm this is? Here’s what I do know, it isn’t a malicious intent but it does look like it is something someone thought of this to test out their skills and to make people laugh. This however isn’t a well made worm, it seems to slow down systems after awhile and prevents loading up of programs. The Odds of you getting this worm is like Dieing in an Airplane or Very slim according to some researchers.

[ad#ad2-left]It seems to be spreading through USB and therefore should prevent this by disabling Autorun features in your machine, also you should limit the use of external storage devices whenever possible to help prevent infection.  Although currently it seems that the worm isn’t detected by any anti-virus software t right now.  There is a screen capture of the Obama Worm in case anyone wanted to see what it looks like.

The Back story is this started at school, and It looks to be only visible on Monday’s.  So if you find yourself seeing the face of Obama on the right hand corner of your screen. That is the only way to find out if you have the Obama Worm.   If you want to find out,if you have the worm, the easiest and quickest way is to change the time on your Windows systems to the following Monday and reboot.  IF after you reboot, and you see the head then you will know you are infected or at least that is my theory on discovering it, haven’t had a system with the Obama Worm yet but expect it to be really simple to find out.

Right now, Most of the Anti-virus companies are trying to figure out how to detect it and remove it so it will of course be a little while.  The best advice I can give you is to make sure you systems are fully patched to help protect the systems from Malware infestations.

Barack Obama isn’t leaving the White House!

Paul

In a story from Sophos, some e-mails are going around saying that Barack Obama is not going to be president or that he will not be inauguration.   Sopho’s also makes a great comparison for the two sites and it does try to look like the official site.

Which if you click on the “Continue Reading” link it will try to send a file “Speech.exe” which is W32/Waled-Gen or Mal/WaledPak-A.   It is a fake site to look like the real site, it is never a good idea on clicking on links that looks real. For those of you who want to watch the Inauguration online I would suggest Hulu:

You can watch it happen when it happens. So sit back relax and enjoy the show!!

Obama Wins with McCain Leading the 2nd!

Paul

[ad#ad2-left]With Obama wining the Presidential Elections and McCain giving his concession speech.  We see a lot of potential going to be coming along.  I see the Democrats take charge of the US Senate.  I also see the House seats have gone to the Democrats.  So what is next for the next President, with the inauguration coming soon, what will the new president pick for the Chief of Staff.  I know he has some choices but which one will it be?

In some of the sites with his Bio, they talk about him being the First African American President:

[ad#ad2-right]Some thing to consider with the Vice President is that it will be Joe Biden.  Now I don’t know very much about him but what I do know comes from the internet.  I wont’t say much because I don’t know much but I will direct you to the pages that I know about:

I will find out more in the coming weeks, but right now we are making history.  What is your responses on what happened?  Are you happy or angry?  Is the signs of even more economic instabilility?  These are all questions that we have to consider in the time to come!!
