WARNING! New phising attack on the loose in NC
Feb 26th
This is just to alert people that the identity thieves and account thieves have started using a new tactic to steal your personal information and get access to your account. They have now started sending out random text messages to cell phones with the following (or similar) text:
From: auto-notice@ncsecu.org
Message: State Employees CU urgent notification:unusual activity. Please verify your online information at 877-336-6029
In this text message, the domain of the sender is valid, although the email is not, and the phone number does *not* belong to the credit union, no matter if they answer like it does or not. In addition, they are sending these text messages blindly. I don’t have a SECU account, and I got one. So they are spamming a *LOT* of people.
Fucking malware bitches…

If you get redirected by an add or some such to viruslivescan.com, it’s a malware site. And it will do this totally bogus virus scam and tell you that you are infected and won’t let you get out of their without installing their software. If you used tabbed browsing, closing the tab works. If not, you just need to close your browser window before it has a chance to install the .exe file. Fortunately, I run linux, I can’t process .exe files regardless so I’m safe. It also tries to do the same thing to Mac OS X computers. In mine and ryeth’s case, we were browsing a few lolcat and loldog pages this morning, and the fucking thing actually redirected us from the lol pages to their page without us clicking anything.
