Virus is spreading.

Hey guys!

A friend told me about a virus, 2 guys out of his clan got hacked and their steam accounts are gone. 1 guy almost got his bankaccount hacked. I thought it would be appropiate to report this to eGO.

You might have heard about it, I don't know... but just to be on the safe side!


P.S. I posted this on the General Forum because I thought more people would go there than to the Tech-Corner.

From the post linked in OP:

To anyone who has xfire, there is a nasty virus going around which sends text asking you to help someone with their school VB program and then attempts to send a file called schoolproject.exe.

Soon as you accept it, it steals your log in info and a friend of mine has had text displayed on his pc desktop saying hello, he has since **** his pants and logged offline.

Just a warning...

This is likely an isolated event and is nothing to worry about.
