Topic: Report Malware and Suspicious Links here so Mods can take Action ! - page 18. (Read 38839 times)

I have reported one that posts earlier this day but not because of the Service he is offering , but i reported it as it was in the wrong section in Altcoins.
Good to know about that other Alt Accounts already banned of him and next time when i see one of this posts i make a reference to your post here.
Thanks for let me know and that you always keep your eyes open.

About 8 of his accounts have been banned so far, but this guy is still posting links of a malicious script service

New account: Xdrainer543tre
ANN: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/xdrainer543tre-3542319

I think the above profile should be banned too.

We have a new Fake Ann with a Fake Github download link with Malware for PerFix and they copy / paste the text from Chinet !

Fake Github Account : github.com/Per-Fix

The Fake Github Account was created an Hour ago.
And again there is the " Hi there 👋 " in the readme file as it was for the other Fake Github Accounts.

Thanks for let me know about that User and the Malware download links !
I also have reported the posts with a reference to your post here and i also supporting the Flag for that User.
And i also have given the Account some negative Feedback to warn other Users and people.
Thanks for keeping your eyes open.

I was checking the topics in the Portuguese tabs and I came across a topic from that user, which when investigating would give the same alert. Thank you for having already done so.

Just a tip, the flag you created (which I already supported) indicated the first post of this topic, and should have indicated your post explaining the situation.

Maybe a suggestion in Meta to enable some sort of "moderator review" with some sort of parameters (so that not all new threads have to be reviewed) that is open not just to moderators, but also to white-listed or established members like yourself who are actively watching these threads may be a good idea to combat the problem. The problem being that new members/inexperienced members are quick to try and get in on new coins at the moment they are announced, download the wallet, and then get infected...all before anyone who is knowledgeable enough discovers the thread is fake and the wallet is infected.

The review period could be a 24 hour/X time "hold" on the topic being published, where only available for legendary members (or some sort of membergroup) to be able to see so that the validity of the thread can be reviewed before the public sees it. To reduce the amount of threads caught in review, it can limit strictly to newbie members or also junior members. As it seems these are the ones who are mostly posting malicious content. Copper members excluded from review (as people who pay for the rights of Copper are less likely to waste it on an attempt to spread malware, I would assume) as are Full member and above (for a similar reason). Parameters about wake-up time can also be added.

Thats why write the Links here so Mitchell can add them to his Bot and also i write them here for a reference for the Github reports also .
And other Users can see them too when they maybe doing some research for the Links .
When i see them i report them dont worry on that , and its also a reference for the reports when i write them here.

I've moved it to the trashcan to mitigate the exposure, although I've escalated it to the global moderators to take further action, so shouldn't be long until that's done. As for the links, I'll probably formulate some sort of list, and report it to Mitchell periodically, however it does seem like they continue to just post new links, so will likely evade the bot. We might need to come up with a custom solution to detect these early, potentially. It's one of the reasons I'm for a shadow ban effect, maybe specifically for accounts looking to post links, rather than all newly registered accounts. I know that these accounts they're obtaining aren't new, which is part of the problem since they evade some of the moderators.

Although, keep reporting them, and we'll at the very least mitigate the exposure this gets. Thanks for doing your bit!

And we have again a new Fake Ann for RadiumX with a new Fake Github Account !
Looks like they are also hacking now github accounts or buy them.

Thats not so easy as you think and write , because first the Fake Ann and the Malware link must be detected manually and integrated into the Bot.
And here is the next problem as they changing so often there Fake Github Links for the download and also the Thread title.
Before a bot is posting a warning (The idea is great dont understand me wrong) it is better to delete the thread instant.
For posting a warning in this kind of Threads there for we are here and thank you for have done it .

Maybe creating some sort of bot that posts a warning until the topic is deleted may be a good idea. The reason I suggest this is because I saw that two users downloaded the wallet and asked questions about it in the thread after downloading. I am not sure if anyone contacted them or not after the thread was deleted, though I had to tell them/give them some tips to be safe if they were to have downloaded it. A solution should definitely be created to address this I think. I am happy to also monitor this thread and post warnings as soon as possible as they come by until a solution is created.

Thanks , i have my one way to check that it is Malware and a Fake Ann , a little bit of experience to find this hacked and fake Accounts.
The best way is that you report this kind of threads or posts directly when you see them and normaly it gets fast deleted so nobody can click the Link.
Posting Warnings is good thing but mostly you dont have the time for doing it and there are so much.

Thanks Rizzrack for the explaining.
