CMGSCCC is spreading malware

[misfire]

This is a bit interesting. When you visit http://forums.cmgsccc.com/, your PC will be infected with the exploit "EXP/Agent.B". You can use IE6 and Avira's AntiVir to reproduce it.

Don't know if the site owner is aware of this, but I guess he is...

I wonder how much CMX is making off that...

[Lazy Bastard]

Heh, not surprising.

Looks like the issue is known since June 2006:

After one member's PC got infected, an admin suggested to use Firefox and a better antivirus program. That's all, the malware is still around...

[Dualscreenman]

Ouch, that's a shame.

(P.S. This really should go in the announcements forum. Moved.)

[Lazy Bastard]

Yeah, good call.

Heh, "Use better security when browsing our forums!"

Everytime i go to the site i have to scann my computer with Ad-Aware. I usualy in IE get around 20 files. Also i am annoyed at the Porn pop ups that cum up.... I mean come up.(<_<)

Oh and the site is now red flagged by Macafee.

[Lazy Bastard]

Heh, porn popups?

[MIR]

yup! as soon as i signed up i had to turn my popup blocker to its highest setting to bget on the damn site.

[Lazy Bastard]

As in, nudity displayed in the popups? If that's the case, I'd say it's more likely you have an infection on your PC...I doubt they'd allow outright porn ads, especially with visible nudity...

[MIR]

no not a thge school computer. that stuff is usualy banned. this porn isnt.

[LiquidManZero]

Damn, CMX is a total ass... First he's pretending to be a corporation, then he's getting his board infected with stuff, and now he's showing porn ads... There's no way he's not making money off this.

It's been seven months since the first member has been infected with the trojan Agent.B and it is still around.

The site maintainers are worried about obscene nicknames, but don't do anything about the malware problem. This makes no sense. Maybe this all happens with malicious intent.

Any comments?

Just drop the Conspiracy theories, people.
The ads help pay for the site.

Post your BS somewhere else, where nobody else has heard enough to last a lifetime's worth.

Here's an idea, pay 30 bucks for the premium and then, just maybe you won't get the crap.

And God help the next person who comes on saying Firefox dosen't work.

What an intelligent answer.

The opinion of this user is: Either pay the money or get infected. Where I come from this is considered as crime. But who cares? The site admins? No.

[Lazy Bastard]

I'd childishly mock his capitalization of "conspiracy", his incorrect spelling of "doesn't", and his Al Capone-esque, protection money attitude, as well as, I'm sure, several other things...only I'd have to set up an SSH tunnel to step around WebSense at work, and I'm sure I'm too lazy to visit GSCCC when I'm home.

Malware on GSCCC and now Banners on GSC... what is next!
