| Someone entered my fm shop and typed: "hi ok this might be weird because you dont know me lol but i used pictures of your merchant in my movie that i finished with cool stuff from ms and posted it in the media section of mmopixels.com " and goes on to elaborate I can see it at a specific time and thanks for understanding. I have never heard of this website before, is it well known, simmilar to basimarket? Or is this a keylogging attempt? Has anyone else in bera gotten this message as a generic type, just like the "come to www.freenxboguswebsite for free mesos"? Thanks -MM So it is a confirmed keylogger. I can only spread word to berans but tell ur friends too. |

| It's a keylogging attempt. After you go to the website, they try to let you download a Flash element to "let the movie play properly". |

| It's been happening from at least December 2009, as I still had my shop permit and received the same message. Just don't go and you'll be fine. |

| Just ignore everything people say in your shop unless its an offer on something, seriously. It isn't that hard to tell its a scam |

| I'm pretty sure you can't get a keylogger from just going to a website. A keylogger is a program that records the keys you press on your keyboard. And you can't obtain programs from just going on websites WITHOUT downloading. |

That would be where the keylog comes in. |

| The media section takes you to a part of the web that simulates metacafe, but it's not, if you can see the address bar, you will realize that you never left the webpage. Now, it will tell you to download the latest version of adobe flash player. That takes you to another part of the web that simulates the adobe flash player download page. The download's name is Shockwave_Flash_installer.exe, weights ~600kb The real installer of the latest version at the time of this writing's name is 'install_flash_player.exe', weights ~1.5mb http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/434586ffd7e624a96042414e5cf83d1288af7b44b73d82733edd2a20d3d9f52f-1266294307 vscan of shockwave_flash_installer.exe |
