Hackers on Obama
Barrack Obama's victory in the race to the White House is already used by hackers who instantly sent tens of new hoaxes offering to download a video of speeches by Barrack Obama or even a porn video with the new president of the U.S. But of course you'll have to download an update of your video player first, containing a worm/virus. McAfee, Symantec, Sophos and Websense recommand you to be careful when receiving such emails !
----------
La victoire historique de Barrack Obama dans la course à la maison blanche a déjà été prise à bon compte par les hackers qui ont envoyé des dizaines de nouveaux canulars doublés de virus, offrant par exemple de télécharger des vidéos des discours de Barrack Obama et même une vidéo X 'exclusive' du successeur de George W. Bush. Mais bien entendu vous devrez d'abord mettre à jour votre lecteur multimédia, installant au passage un joli Cheval de Troie. Les éditeurs de logiciels antivirus (McAfee, Symantec, Sophos, Websense) vous recommandent donc d'être plus que jamais vigilants si vous recevez de tels emails !

Facebook's viral inviter
Didn't you ever submit your MSN username and password in a website that can tell you who blocked you or not ? Then, strangely your contacts may have received an invitation to try this tool too, the main script is a tell-a-friend viral inviter (just look for "get contacts script" or "import contacts" in Google to find scripts like this one). But if you ever used Facebook you may have seen a small tool that you can download and execute in Windows to synchronize your contacts (probably used by many other social networks like MySpace, Hi5 or Squidoo), this is the current ultimate viral marketing weapon, making as easy as possible for your visitors to spread your message by allowing them to instantly invite all of their contacts from MSN, Gmail, Yahoo & Aol. Of course it should generate an avalanche of free traffic very quickly as it most often doesn't ask you which contact you do want to invite and which contact you don't. Finally, if the key of social marketing success was just a kind of trojan horse or virus ?
----------
Qui n'a jamais essayé l'un de ces sites où il est possible de découvrir qui vous a bloqué ou non sur MSN en soumettant vos informations de connexion ? Bien souvent, étrangement, vos contacts ont été invités à essayer le mystérieux outil juste après votre essai. Le script a la base de cet engrenage est un "tell-a-friend" ou lanceur d'invitations viral (rechercher "import contacts" ou "get contacts script" sur Google pour trouver de tels scripts). Mais si vous avez testé Facebook, vous pouvez avoir aperçu ce petit outil exécutable dans Windows, qui vous permet de synchroniser vos contacts avec Facebook (utilisé probablement par d'autres réseaux sociaux tels My Space, Hi5 ou Squidoo), c'est là l'arme ultime en termes de marketing viral, rendant aussi simple que possible pour vos visiteurs de faire suivre votre message en leur permettant d'inviter tous leurs contacts MSN, Gmail, Yahoo, Aol etc.. Bien sûr cela devrait rapidement générer un torrent de traffic croissant à toute vitesse, d'autant que le programme ne vous laissera probablement pas choisir les contacts que vous ne désirez pas inviter. Et si la clé des réseaux sociaux tenait dans un nouveau genre de virus ou cheval de Troie ?

- Does the email ask you to send it to a lot of other people ?
- Is the language used overly emotive or highly technical ?
Here is an example :
>>
Anyone-using Internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL and so on.
This information arrived this morning, Direct from both Microsoft and Norton.
You may receive an apparently harmless e-mail titled "Mail Server Report"
If you open either file, a message will appear on your screen saying: 'It is too late now, your life is no longer beautiful.'
Subsequently you will LOSE EVERYTHING IN YOUR PC, And the person who sent it to you will gain access to your name, e-mail and password.
This is a new virus which started to circulate on Saturday afternoon. AOL has already confirmed the severity, and the anti virus software's are not capable of destroying it.
The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself 'life owner'.
PLEASE SEND A COPY OF THIS E-MAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS, And ask them to PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY!
THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY SNOPES
<<
Or a similar hoax :
>>
Please Be Extremely Careful especially if using internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL and so on. This information arrived this morning direct from both Microsoft and Norton. Please send it to everybody you know who has access to the Internet.
You may receive an apparently harmless email with a Power Point presentation "Life is beautiful."
If you receive it DO NOT OPEN THE FILE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, and delete it immediately. If you open this file, a message will appear on your screen saying: "It is too late now, your life is no longer beautiful." Subsequently you will LOSE EVERYTHING IN YOUR PC and the person who sent it to you will gain access to your name, e-mail and password. This is a new virus which started to circulate on Saturday afternoon. AOL has already confirmed the severity, and the antivirus software's are not capable of destroying it. The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself "life owner."
PLEASE SEND A COPY OF THIS EMAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS and ask them to PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY.

Tout le monde a déjà reçu un courrier électronique lui annonçant une offre d'emploi, un gain à un jeu quelconque, un système d'affiliation pyramidal ou un nouveau type de virus. Souvent envoyé par un ami, le message est en général annoncé comme très urgent. Le réflexe premier est donc de renvoyer le message à toutes ses connaissances, qui feront à leur tour la même chose et ainsi de suite jusqu'à ce que le message fasse de nombreuses fois le tour du monde.
Vous vous êtes ainsi et comme beaucoup sans doute fait piéger, mais les hoax (canulars) ont des conséquences souvent bien plus graves. De l'atteinte à la vie privée en passant par les nombreux dérapages, les dangers sont très réels.
Ainsi si votre antivirus (par exemple AVG Antivirus) vous indique un nouveau problème au doux nom de EXPL_ANICMOO.GEN, ADW_AGENT.VJS, JS_DLOADER.NUF, WORM_NETSKY.P, POSSIBLE_MLWR-5, HTML_NETSKY.P, WORM_RBOT.APT, POSSIBLE_INFOSTL, WORM_NYXEM.E, POSSIBLE_NUCRP-3, il est plus que possible que vous ayiez cliqué sur un lien transmis par l'un de ces emails malveillants sans protection adaptée.
Un exemple de Hoax :
>>
NE PAS DÉTRUIRE ET FAIRE SUIVRE SVP !!!
SALUT TOUT LE MONDE
LISEZ CE MESSAGE ET ENVOYER-LE AU MAX DE PERSONNES POSSIBLE.
SI VOUS DETRUISEZ CECI, VOUS N'AVEZ PAS DE COEUR !
JE SUIS UN JEUNE PAPA DE 29 ANS.
MA FEMME ET MOI AVONS EU UNE VIE MERVEILLEUSE ENSEMBLE.
DIEU NOUS A BENI AVEC UN ENFANT ET SON NOM EST RACHEL.
AUJOURD'HUI, ELLE EST ÂGÉE DE 10 ANS.
IL N'Y A PAS LONGTEMPS, LE DOCTEUR A DETECTE UN CANCER DU CERVEAU DANS SON PETIT CORPS.
IL Y A SEULEMENT UNE SOLUTION POUR LA SAUVER : C'EST UNE OPÉRATION.
MALEUREUSEMENT, NOUS N'AVONS PAS ASSEZ D'ARGENT POUR PAYER LE PRIX.
AOL ET ZDNET ONT ACCEPTE DE NOUS AIDER.
LE SEUL MOYEN QU'ILS ONT DE NOUS AIDER EST LE SUIVANT :
JE VOUS ENVOIE CET EMAIL, ET VOUS L'ENVOYEZ A D'AUTRES PERSONNES.
AOL VA SUIVRE CET EMAIL, ET COMPTERA COMBIEN DE PERSONNES L'ONT RECU.
CHAQUE PERSONNE QUI OUVRE CET E-MAIL ET QUI L'ENVOIE A AU MOINS 3 PERSONNES, NOUS DONNERA 32 CENTS.
S'IL VOUS PLAIT, AIDEZ-NOUS !!!
MERCI. KEVIN & MÉLANIE
