Topic: Trading Bot - Malware (Read 574 times)
I have found so many different trading bots in the web. But how to choose the correct one? I have chosen the most profitable for me. While I sleep, enjoy my free time, it works and I earn money!
Great find. Can't believe though that it took over a year for someone to finally notice.
Always verify with multiple sources what you are downloading onto your computer.
This shows you how vulnerable people continue to be in this community so whenever I see search a thing, first step is to warn people and hopefully a couple of them learn.
What happened: User is sharing and encouraging people to download a file containing malware claiming it's a trading bot

Always verify with multiple sources what you are downloading onto your computer. And if a user is offering such software for free and posting public links it's probably nothing good. Think about it, the scammer's posting it in public to make a profit, and can only do so because of people downloading will be paying the price. So common sense alone tells us that either the software contains viruses, or will do something malicious with your exchange account.
Remember that legitimate trading bots are sold at a price, not offered for free. And always take what users without reputation is offering with a huge grain of salt, especially newbies that are offering some sort of get rich quick method. There is no such thing.
Github repo and entire account look like they have been removed as well... nice work 
Painted red
It’s done.
It’s done.
The user even woke up after along period of inactivity
Can we have atleast one DT member look into this and tag the culprit before the damage is done?
