Greed kills...
Good edit, I was just about to really go to my kitchen and literally make some popcorn then come back to this thread lol
I love the internet enterpreneur (yes, it says enterpreneur) best idea award.
LOL, I saw it too. Its a shame nobody seem to have made a screen cap of the site to keep having fun.
Got this email three times. Excellent response guys!
i just woke up to this one too here in AU. i can confirm the website isnt loading for me either.
congratulations and major props to the guys who got the ftp access, you deserve a medal or some of the coins for acting so quick !
no matter what all you guys say about it being funny and detailed, he's still just a scum bag thief con artists who would be stealing your dear grand mothers money and net virginity given the chance...

He need to re-engineer the whole stuff. He could get away with it if was a slightly smarter coder (or maybe he just found out a FTP component roaming around the web, so better coder). But I rather keep quiet, don't want to give tips to robbers. 
Guess the guy closed his stall - next scam... maybe tomorrow or in a couple of hours while he thinks of another name for his trojan-stealer! 
Well done, at least he lost the money of the domain registration, all the web design, and the time to set up all that website.Don't celebrate so soon, my bet is he goes around the corner, fixes the design, encrypts better his stuff and tries again.

Well done, at least he lost the money of the domain registration, all the web design, and the time to set up all that particular website.On a humorous side, all the fake user comments were totally fixed in time. For hours, the same comments said: 1 minute ago, 4 minutes ago, and so on. I was expected more from him.
Domain: 7-10 bucks.
Very crappy site design: Free (looks like he done it himself)

So, this miner is apparently faster than "OpenCL", and also faster than "overclocked". And GuiMiner of course. Yay!
...and steals you wallet... you forgot that feature...

Defininitely, we need better marketing for legitimate bitcoin uses.
On a very real note that has nothing to do with this thread. I've only charged one user for a graphic (suuuper cheap mind you), made a few for free, and honestly if I didn't have more work myself, I'd do more. I'd ask for donations on all that shit, but obviously the start up people don't have it, so it comes down to, if any graphic designer has invested in coin, they should further seal their investment by helping out the stores that would make Bitcoin have that look legitimacy that is lacking on most these place. I trust so few based on looks alone.
if you use linux you can use the string command to take a look at ascii characters in the binary, there is a web site listed, however I do not know how it is related to the scam mining software.

Haha, newbs. Made in one of clickteam's game creation kits, might even be traceable back to their serial number if they actually bought it.minero@dragon:~/Downloads$ strings -a Coin-Miner-v2.7.exe |more

I suggest submitting this to all the AV companies ASAP. I am submitting it to Microsoft now.

It's pretty depressing that virus scam sites have better designs than the legit bitcoin ones :-(

Where does it install? I don't see anything relating to Coin_Miner in the Program Files directory.
I'm running this on a crappy 5 year old computer, hoping to log it's connections.

When refreshing the FTP directory periodically, three .dat files appeared. I have downloaded them and removed them from the FTP server. After starting up bitcoind with them I will report on any addresses they contain that have been seen in the block chain. If they turn out to be your addresses, create a new wallet on a secure machine and spend all of your coins to one of its addresses ASAP.
EDIT: More keep popping up every so often. I am downloading and deleting all that I find.

You might want to also set up something that periodically checks to see if the mal-executable changes. The author may change the destination details.
Yup, already doing that too.
