Gurukeylogger.sip.332 this is the source of the new hacks that have been happening, no anti virus has picked it up scanned with 10 types of antivirus scanners

justa heads up need to find all files ass. with that file name and remove

Admin Edit: This is blatant misinformation. I'm assuming you are trying to tell people that we had a keylogger on Guru and this is how people got hacked. Not only is this absolutely false, but no one who has been hacked has been infected from this site. We have gone through our servers, our ad servers and more. You are wrong, if you've been infected with a virus such as this it's from your own internet surfing, giving out your passwords, etc. and not this site.

I won't even address the fact that you gave no useful information in your post for anyone.

and how did you know of this file?

White Lies · Jul 11, 2008, 11:50 AM // 11:50

oh dear.
hw did u notice the files?

Free Runner · Jul 11, 2008, 11:59 AM // 11:59

Rather than making a rather vague post could you actually tell us how you found it? details people details.

Fril Estelin · Jul 11, 2008, 12:00 PM // 12:00

One very simple question: who named this keylogger?

Aera · Jul 11, 2008, 12:09 PM // 12:09

Not a very clever name for a keylogger if you want to do damage. Come on, as a hacker you wouldn't want your files to be found do you?

Darkobra · Jul 11, 2008, 12:21 PM // 12:21

So you scanned with 10 types of antiviruses, not one has picked it up and you somehow found it? So how do you expect us to remove it?

skitz · Jul 11, 2008, 12:21 PM // 12:21

this got 2 of my guildies, he serched for keylogger in his computer and thatd what popped up, this is serious. they even took his customized wepons and runes off his armour.

Arduin · Jul 11, 2008, 12:36 PM // 12:36

And now what? Time for everyone to start panicking? Anyone now of some means to remove these loggers?

Edit: I've searched for keyloggers on my machine, couldn't find any, and I haven't been hacked of late. Guess I'll grab some more cake.

Free Runner · Jul 11, 2008, 12:42 PM // 12:42

Aswell as how to remove them details, how about whereabouts they came from? i know it says Guru on it but i've been a member for ages and have yet to see any traces of this. What have you guys been doing? have you clicked any ads? downloaded any programs linked to from here?

miskav · Jul 11, 2008, 12:44 PM // 12:44

My guess is they clicked on one of those links in the topics that are randomly created with random keywords to attract hits from google (Those topics are mostly deleted within 5 min)
And thus they got infected.

Because it is impossible to get infected by malicious flash ad, right?

Etta · Jul 11, 2008, 12:53 PM // 12:53

I find the lack of respond from the OP, disturbing.

Nah, I just figured because there seem to be only 2 known cases of this issue, and if It was a flash ad, I assume there would be more infections reported.

If you can get adware installed on your computer from a random website, why not a keylogger.

Kusandaa · Jul 11, 2008, 01:13 PM // 13:13

I'm gonna check on this computer now, if I try and tell my parents on how to scan my desktop they'll break it apart.

I'm curious on how he found it though...

Fril Estelin · Jul 11, 2008, 01:50 PM // 13:50

I can see 3 possible situations here:

1) FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt), the OP invented a story, he's a troll and wants to scare people;

2) Hacker's delight, the guy or one of his friends is a n00b h4ck0r who managed to install a keylogger somewhere and wants to brag about it;

3) Hacker's nightmare, the guy or one of his friends is a white-hat hacker who discovered the keylogger and wants to brag about it.

The tone of the OP suggests that this is not serious, but if we find how the name Gurukeylogger.sip.332 (a very strange name ...) was created, we have our answer.

Fried Tech · Jul 11, 2008, 01:51 PM // 13:51

I smell a hoax

DarkNecrid · Jul 11, 2008, 01:54 PM // 13:54

it's most likely either a FUD or the guy. Most white hat's don't really brag about this kind of stuff at all, from what I've seen.
