The humanoid has been zapped....an email earlier alerted me.....unless it registered again ! Will check...
Well.. some of us have heavier armourplate than others.
This is amateurish in its execution, but a potentially BAD one, nonetheless.
I have had a specialized browser show the directory of that site, capture the page-code as a text file, and can confirm that the "Lightspeed" httpd daemon was not even set up well-enough to conceal that, nor the login.zip malware file awaiting upload.
"Amateur" or no, the page linked to has, from a light once-over glance at the code - apparently had enough 'capture' work - stolen by 'ripping' from 'the real' PM - plus enough minor alteration in function done to it to:
- fake the PM login panel
- 'harvest' the loginID and Password of any member careless enough to visit it AND DO an attempted login.
- upload a malware infection, probably browser-targeted, not JUST WinWOES specific. And perhaps whether one logs-in or NOT.
So don't even GO there unless you are Wizard-class equipped and spring-loaded in the cranky position.
*sigh* Greedy little s**thooks....
God must have loved 'em 'coz she made so DAMNED many of 'em.
This one deserves having their server IP dropped right into the middle of the never-ending wars between several of the larger university student groups in Taiwan, PRC, and both flavours of Korea.
Those are forever and ever trying to hammer the living p**s out of each other's massive suborned botnets. Probably for no more motivation than lack of the price of drugs, BigMac's, or reliable access to genuine sex, any known variation thereof.
EVEN IF.. one has b/w throttled? Multiple billion attempts over 26 hours, last time they trifled can overflow the mount point for an average server's logs.
I'll leave a ration of 'justice' to younger folks, then...
Long past the time y'all learned how to protect yer own ass-etts.
