Tech Alert *TURN YOUR GADGETS OFF* before you get hacked
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/dn261332
:shock:
hacker's found a way to get inside your gadgets and take control of your
computer
this explains how i got hacked last month - my computer was acting odd
and really slow - the hard drive was thrashing like crazy and i knew
something wasn't right so i walked to the wireless router and pulled the
power cord. did a full disk virus scan and had a couple of really nasty
trojans and 250+ spyware apps all active at the same time.
wonder WHY it was so slow! :lol:
they also got my password to my roadrunner email and started blasting
spam, i started getting mail delivery failures, put 2+2=5 together and
changed my password. after that i immediately got a spam - kinda like a
"nanner nanner we got you" thing.
gadgets off now. i miss them already. the clock gadget disappeared and i
started looking around to see what was up and found this alert by Microsoft
you know, you'd a thunk maybe they'd let us know???
