Hacked in Cyrillic again

[rainman]

I'm reluctant to open the recent Cyrillic text posts. Are these viruses or spam?

[cz4bldr]

I would assume both...the text is proclaiming free online games. I wouldn't click on an English version of the advert, much less a Russian version!

wait a sec.  are you saying it's spam?  no way.  The guy's profile says he flies a golf.  It's gotta be legit.

I've been getting Cyrillic text spam emails for about a year now. They drive me crazy. I wish I could get my spam filter to intercept them.

Yeah the people that are making all the spam blockers and software fixes etc. are probably the same ones making that spam and viruses in the first place.

gentlemen,

 

I saw four more so called "Russian posts" today, and, having analyzed them, I can state with 99.9% confidence that Russians have nothing to do with this.  First of all, these are "horoscope" messages with the link that will download a Trojan to your PC or take you to some dubious site at best. Secondly, the text only appears Russian: in reality, it is an auto translation from some English or other language page made with very poor quality software translator: this translator only translates words, but not phrases. I saw these when the online translators were in their infancy, somewhere in mid 90's. As a result of such translation, words are translated but they are not interconnected logically, so the whole text is a complete gibberish. Being a member of several Russian forums, I can tell that Russian bots use logical and readable text in Russian, with viral link inserted in it. So, why would Russian hackers bother with picking some English horoscope text, autotranslating it to Russian and publishing here? It would have been much easier for them to copy paste text from any Russian horoscope page, or any page in Russian, there are thousands of them. The reason is simple: the guy who publishes this wants you to believe that he is Russian because very few people here have the ability to read the language, but most of us here can recognize Cyrillic alphabet.

I am not sure if adding captcha  or another form of authentication would help; chances are, this jerk indeed obtained the membership here and publishes his crap manually.

Since we are all pilots here, and therefore, safety is what we live by, I am sure that none of us here will be careless enough to click on the link in these messages. And if you do, prepare for the PC overhaul....
