The hacker that hacked the GNI website is still at it. I just received this email below, purporting to be from Robert of GNI. It is however an email from the hacker trying to pusuade you to download malicious software. DO NOT DOWNLOAD! There is not a sane person in the world that would ask you to download an executable software package for a refund. It makes no sense at all and it is complete bogus. *** Mail send by hacker *** Dear, I am Robert, administrator of GNI - Arbitrage Wagering Pool. As you are aware, recently unknown persons have hacked into our system. Our experts do all they can to withstand attacks from hackers, but, I am afraid to say we have to confess that on this occasion our server was were breached. As a result, we have decided to return money to investors of the Liberty Reserve fund. This is based on the fact that the hackers attempted to steal money from this system in particular. Our experts have developed a unique program, which is 100% secure and allows us to refund money from our investment fund to your Liberty Reserve account. In order to secure your savings, please do the following: 1) Download the program from the address http://xyz/moneyback.exe if this link isn't available please use mirrors: http://xyz/moneyback.exe http://xyz/moneyback.exe (Note from Remco: I deliberately changed the download links to render them useless) 2) Launch this program. For your safety, nothing will appear on the monitor. 3) Close then open your Internet Explorer. 4) Through IE browser of any version enter your LR account (if you don't have IE please download it at http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9AE91EBE-3385-447C-8A30-081805B2F90B&displaylang=en). If you use version 6 or 8 of IE please download the 7 version and try again. 5) Transfer only USD 0.01 to our account U3539744 The program will report to our server, which is inaccessible to hackers, and the money will be transferred to your LR account. For further reliability, after receipt of transfer, please change the password of your LR account. We apologise for these temporary inconveniencies, but consider it better for the safety of your savings. Moreover, I?d like to note that, at the moment, we do not control the GNI server. This server is fully under the hackers? control. Therefore, please don?t respond to provocative messages allegedly from GNI administration, which you may receive. |
