Unfortunately I think it's just the beginning of new waves as there are a lot of similar active accounts since a few days that were inactive for years.

It seems we have experienced another wave of FAKE[ANN]. Grand majority were posted yesterday.

They have been deleted and a bunch of users banned.

Here are some users and fake threads:

Keep a keen eye (as always) as your experience and feedback hugely helps the community !

Let`s finish theese pajeets and prove them wrong...




Thank you guys and have a good one !

I read that of course, but what I was thinking as a thread to be more like unknown wallets sharing your private keys with the creator and stealing your coins,not like injecting malicious code to existing .exe files which should be detected by AV or other protecting software. I thought that it should be some kind of protection against such threads or at least warning when downloading that using that code/file can affect your system.

To be honest, I have not been in the forum for too long (since November of 2017), but I felt like the forum has been in one of the most effective period of clean-up procedure. Maybe, it is unnecessary if Epochtalk will become lively in coming months, but who knows when Epochtalk will become lively, so in reality such clean-up wave has good net effects for the forum.
Three huge things I witnessed so far:
- Merit system
- Default Trust Change
- Wave of permanent bans and account-nukes.

We're on it, thanks for tagging and reporting them while they run out of accounts. I've been locking a lot of these hacked accounts, a part of them are active accounts which the hacker silently used. We'll handle account recoveries as they come in. Curious how they picked the altcoin threads, seems pretty random.

And maybe many more hacked accounts will come up soon. Check this person profile: 413783
there are over 40 posts/bumps today (possibly deleted already). It appears to be a hacked account.

We have been following this fake ANN story: post 1 , post 2, and it appears the numbers of fake ANN are doubling every day.
This morning we found more than 30 new posts that could be a FAKE ANN.  
Now (afternoon) we noticed many of them have been deleted (by moderator? by the poster?)
 
users are also noticing the fake ANN's.

Yes, you can!


Yup, you read that right, there's been account hacking going on too. Two users complained last week that they were temporarily locked/logged out of their accounts. From both accounts were posted fake announcement threads. After further investigation and assistance from theymos, we found that both accounts were accessed by different IPs around the time these threads were started. All suspicious IPs have multiple violation reports, such as port scanning, unauthorized login attempts, etc. There's been a third case this week.

Many of SCAM ANN used Github to gain a temporary trust. I have reported many of those projects to Github, but it is difficult to judge many of them, especially those that compress files.

Have you given me 1 Merit on this topic^[1] without reading its content? 


[1] Just because It’s on GitHub. It doesn’t mean it’s safe>

I didn't got this one. So the fake Anns are copying real projects just replacing the links with infected ones in GitHub?? Can you host files with malware on GitHub ??
I'll keep an eye on those ones.

I know , and i dont want to blacklist github ,lol !

Thats why asked if its possible to disable that link for that github user here , i know maybe its just short solution but you see that everyday it getting more of this Fake ANNs .

And we should do something about it , if we dont it will be to late maybe for some User they download from that links and also its Spamming too !

Sure report them helps a bit but thats a lot of reporting to do !

I will quote myself here as someone whos been following the situation with fake ANN for over a month now.


You can't really blacklist GitHub, they can and have used mega.nz and bitbucket previously, it doesn't matter where their malware wallets are deposited. If it's GitHub best course of action is to report it, have those wallets scanned first. Their support usually deletes those channels within 24 hours.

Still on searching and guess there are coming more !

That's the Github domain for downloadable files. I don't think blacklisting it is a good choice either. If we blacklist just the link with their repo "DUONetworkToken", they can easily create a new one. If we blacklist all links with "raw.githubusercontent.com", then we are just blacklisting GitHub - hurting everybody (even legit projects).

Without making any claim about whether or not the posts/users are bad: In the past 42 hours, these users have posted "githubusercontent":

Is part of github (?)

Links from newbies shouldn't be clickable, and users posting links to viruses should get banned once reported.
E:-- Actually, links from newbies are clickable. Huh. Perhaps that would be a good solution; Users who are actually interested in a newbie's content, will simply copy the link, and spammers&scammers will have a much harder time getting clicks from unaware visitors through newbie accounts.

Though i never visit the ANN section, so i have no idea if this problem is that big that another measure against newbies is warranted for.


I don't exactly see the reason why the domain should be blacklisted though.

As the most maybe have seen , there are in the last days and weeks coming more Fake ANNs in the Announcements (Altcoins) section !

Looks like that this kind of Fake ANN topics now gets created automated by Bots !

All Fake ANNs have the same download link main Adress !

For a real ANN , the most downloads and Source links are from:


But in the Fake ANN Topics all download Links from :


All ANNs have the github user DUONetworkToken on the links for the downloads !

Suggastion if that is possible to disable or blacklist this link !


Its just an Idea
