...so as a user I can't see this lock anywhere.
No you cannot

That makes more sense than a regular user suddenly joining a long-term spammer scam.
LOL

I assume MindlessElectron still bans them, right? That explains why they need more senior accounts for their spam.
It is whooping their asses 24/7 indeed.
Older accounts I can understand with the database leak(s) and all, but how are new users getting infected/hacked ? Provided they don't download the malware-PILLs or something similar...

Currently the account was banned and it should be lift somehow.
I received an email from someone asking to whitelist his alt, which I did now.

The account is locked so nobody can even login.
Was it locked by a Mod after the spam? It's not banned, so it doesn't show in modlog. The email address or password haven't been changed either, so as a user I can't see this lock anywhere.

It does look like his account was hacked.

I get in touch with the owner of this account in telegram, he said it wasn't him which is probably true. I didn't see this guy interact on that thread and then suddenly the account posted like he owns the thread or somewhat related to the team/devs of phoenix miner, and regarding the previous reports this is a desperate attacks of the scammer/hackers to phoenix miner.

There's another scam using the same github technique, the "LHR-pill"

Nice catch on that , and thanks for keeping your eyes open about that !
Alread report this one here also on Github
Fake Github Account :

Source : https://howtofix.guide/trojan-banker-win32-emotet/

Malware activity seems to be increasing.

There's on other very insidious technique I found. I think it's rare but it's worth noting. It requires a compromised,
but otherwise legitimate github account.

If the account has weak security settings a malfaisant can create a github account of his own and use it to hack
the poorly secured legitimate account to make changes. In the instance I saw the previously unused wiki was the
target of the attack. The legimate owner may not even notice if notifications aren't turned on or are not checked.

The wiki was updated to do one thing: redirect to the malware hosted elsewhere. Then a link was posted in the mining
board and it looks like it points to a legitimate github account, which it is, before redirecting to the malware.
The fake github account was not used to host the malware, it was only used as a side door into a legitimate github
account. The malware was hosted elsewhere.

This redirection could go on for some time without the user realizing he's being used. When I alerted the user in this case
he was unaware but took switft action.

As long as github users have proper security and don't allow just any user to make changes to their repo this can't
happen. But it did because it didn't.*

For those not fluent in englsih or are just not good with riddles my apologies, here's the long version:
But it [ the hack] did [happen] because it [the repo] didn't [have proper security].

There's another scam using the same github technique, the "LHR-pill"

Current example until the post is deleted:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5361294

A copy of it with links sanitized:

Quote
Glad to see you new crypto software LHR-pill .
Now unlock up to 100% of the Ethereum mining performance of Nvidia�s Lite Hash Rate (LHR) series

In what could be bad news for anyone in the market for a new graphics card, as far as the changelog from the latest version of the NBMiner crypto currency mining software is concerned, the tool is now capable of unlocking up to 70% of the original GPU mining performance of the Nvidia Lite Hash rate series of GPUs for mining Ethereum

But our software will completely solve this problem. It is by far the best solution to the problem of LHR GPU's. The software does not lower and increases power consumption every second. therefore it is safe for your graphics cards. Work with Win7, Win10 (Not HiveOs,RaveOS and etc)

Download:
https colon slash slash github dot com slash LHR-Pill slash LHR-DEVsoftware slash releasesslash download slash lhrslash LHR-Pill.zip

How to use:

https colon slash slash i.imgur dot com slash Ww88c12.png

Run LHR-pill.exe
Wait when software detected yours GPU's
When you see message "worked" you can minimize window and start your miner

Since he has been allegedly hacked the best thing to do would be to direct him to this thread so he would send us an email.
Thanks and i have written that he should be sending the Recovery Team an email to the email adress from theymos thread about Hacked Accounts.
Also i have written that he should write in this Thread here when his Account is fully back in his hands and recovered , so i can remove my Feedback i have given back in the days.
And thats why like to write in this Thread for using it as reference , sometimes it helps to get Users there Account back .

If your account was hacked

Email [email protected], ideally from the account's email address. Include your username and a brief description of the details of how/when the account was hacked. A signature will likely be required

Guess they focus on phoenix miner because of it's popularity overall and on bitcointalk (one of the top traffic keywords) and because it only recently has an "official" website (https://phoenixminer.info)

From what i can see on the detection list from Virustotal there are a lot of false positive detections !

There is only 1 detection , but anyway the Thread is deleted already now if it is a serious project they will be asking why it was deleted .


Yup this is true.

Normally, I would check the windows wallet only for viruses in virus total. Upon checking it also, it only contained one false-positive result, so I tried downloading the Mac wallet also. To my surprise, it contained 14 detections (most are false-positive) but the fact that the thread has been deleted and the user just recently awoken, those evidences conclude that the wallet did contain some malware on it.

Thank you for going the extra mile and checking it, Lafu!

You only checked the Wallet for MAC and this Wallet has miner integrated.

But since the User just woked up and posted this Thread and wallet its possible that there is something wrong with the Wallet.

Thats the result for Windows Wallet : https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/d080cfcf83b55b56050793946f2b16d9bd7ac5479eac834fcd4e64bc85245a18/detection

They also seem to be staying up much longer.
The one below was posted at 09:49:54 AM my time, I reported it at 10:05:28 AM when I saw it.
They never used to stay up for 15 minutes.

Oh well, guess we just have to start being a bit more proactive on this till the reporting bot is fixed.

And after I reported it, it was still up for a while. Guess the mods were on a lunch break.
