I would have expected by now an official email from the SSC to all members acknowledging their security breach plus a warning not to open the link. I would expect there are many members unaware of this thread and will innocently open the link. An apology would also be appreciated and an note of the extent of the security breach. Aye i've had to text my mum to tell her not to open it, kind of thing she would just click on without really thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SFA will have some explaining to do if anyone gets infected with this. The "HEUR_JSRANSOM.O2" tells me it's ransomware which encrypts all your files and asks for BitCoins for the unlock key. You could be £000s out of pocket if infected. Is that from clicking the link posted at the start of this thread (i.e. in the dodgy email)? (if so I would bet some have clicked on it just from there.) 5 hours ago, dandydunn said: How do I get my money back? Looks like I'm the only one to fall for it. Surely not? Well if you did it would depend on how you paid. But seriously no way you paid right. That said I would think a few folk (the vulnerable) will have fallen for it.

OLAS Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 To get infected you'd need to click the link in the email, download & open the zip file then execute the JavaScript file. People do fall for it. Even then I think both Windows and Apple computers would ask you if you wanted run it with 'program x'. It's not easy seeing what the script does just by looking at the code as it's completely obfuscated using random variable names, meaning it can't easily be detected by virus scanners. This was more of an attempt to hit the 1% with a mass mailing rather than a 'drive by' attack where you get infected due to browser vulnerabilities. The guys who do the latter are millionaires...

Ally Bongo Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I got an email confirming receipt of my £170 They have asked for another £70 for SSC renewal so i've sent that too They havent said what will be included in the membership pack but i'm hoping it's something good with the price hike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo cop Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Even the phone number they gave does not exist. I got 3 e mails from them which I found suspicious straight away. I also know as should most us that my membership has been paid, so to fall for this scam aint very clever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying a company with a turnover that the SFA have and 10s of thousands of personal records should have the correct policies in place. Passwords, porn, piracy and personal internet usage to name a few. What I don't find surprising is your shite attempts at humour. Must be a northern thing.

dandydunn Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Anyone else had STV sending dm's on twitter asking for thoughts on this?
