Hi, Guys
I have noticed some discussions and we would like to clarify :
1, Regarding Email spam. this is not known to us, and most of customers are not getting it, although we do see 5-8 customers are getting some spam. we are investigating where they might have get some of the email address.
2, regarding price : yes, we have a slightly high price, we are trying to adjust our price here. the 8500 USD price is likely to be a scam unless it is from innsillicon themselves. you can check with innosilicon and see how much they have it for.
we can tell you innoslicon is not prepared to lower the price , but they do have some move in the near future, not on price as far as we know, We would not be able to provide you with more at this time due to NDA.
I'm just going to say this: I suddenly started getting these spam emails which were from these names and addresses:
Minereu: <
[email protected]>
BTC-E: <
[email protected]>
Minereu: <
[email protected]>
[email protected];
All their texts were basically like this:
We attach you Information For New miner
we have only 3 items
thanks
administrator Minerereu.com
And an added .jar file which would probably copy your BTC wallet or install a trojan or something.
As you can see they are meant for customers of minereu(I don't have an account on BTC-e) so my guess would be that your database was copied by someone and that they are now sending spam.
These were also not picked up by my spam filter so apparently they did not come from blacklisted sources.
on the second point:
I personally know the guy that is selling these for 6999 euros and if he says he can deliver them for that amount then he can.
But I'm only some guy on a forum so buyer beware.Edit: I read something wrong. 8500 is the US price so I can't say anything about that
Hi, Thanks for providing this, we don't think it is our daatabase got hacked, but we think it could be something else with the hacker, it seems to have stopped. and we are investigating the email headers to see if there are anything at all we can find out.
it seems to have affected a few of our customers, but not all, we are trying to find out which part could that be.
for those who got this spam email, have you contacted us recently ? i.e. through google group forum or through the contactus#minereu.com ?
I had a problem with a G-blade from Minereu.com that I had sold to a customer. I sent an email to
[email protected]. Later that day I got a reply from minerereu.com with the invoiceXXXXX.jar I was suspicious straight away, but I have this customer who's put a claim in with Paypal who have frozen a good chunk of my money, so I was desperate and clicked on the .jar file. What a stupid thing to do, I know. Nothing seemed to happen, but obviously something has. I scanned for viruses and malware, but found nothing. I've since reinstalled my operating system, but I don't know if anything has infected my removable drives etc. I can't find anything with virus scanners or malware bytes etc. If anybody knows what the invoice .jar file does, I'd really like to know. I don't have much confidence in my computer to access my wallets at the moment. As for Minereu.com - still nothing from them and I'm furious about it. This invoice .jar file even exists on their Google group support board. I've also gotten the SPAM claiming to be from btc-e.com saying I have successfully withdrawn bitcoins with a hidden link to another .jar file. All this started after the email to
[email protected]. Thanks for nothing MINEREU.COM!
the email address
[email protected] is not the source of the problem. we are sorry about this attack, and we have seen some people complaining about it.
we suspect it is because this virus was able to scan your browser for e-commerce page. and if it detected a woocommerce site, it will pretend to be the source and send emails to people.
we have issued a warning on our website to warn people against this kind of attack, but to be honest, we can't help you if you have opened a jar file . this kind of virus in jar can run on windows and linux as long as there is a jre installed. people should be really careful about it.
