Yes, it was scam attack by malware/virus. Seems they have deleted their topic. That means really they were tried to spread malware all over forum. We need to keep in eye that link, so we could identify if they try to spread again with new account.

Good found OP, tagged the scammers.

Why its a scam: Virused wallet client. (VirusTotal results)

This is the filthiest wallet client I've ever scanned:



I wanted to know what the heck a "Pony Stealer" was so I looked it up.

Pony Stealer is a password stealer that can decrypt or unlock passwords for over 110 different applications including VPN, FTP, email, instant messaging, web browsers and much more.  Pony Stealer is very dangerous and once it infects a PC it will turn the device into a botnet, allowing it to use the PCs it infects to infect other PCs.

By doing a quick Google search of some of the ANN text I can see they've put up and taken down an ANN for this "coin" several times already -- 13 times to be exact.

Its likely they'll try it again under a different account name so be on the lookout for a similar-sound account/project name.
