This is a rather interesting read. A researcher for AVG managed to stumble into and have a conversation with a hacker in a chat session while researching a piece of malware.
I have to admit, I enjoyed this piece.
From AVG Blog:
This is an impressive and first-time experience in my anti-virus career. I chatted with a hacker while debugging a virus. Yes, it’s true. It happened when the Threat team were researching key loggers for Diablo III while many game players playing this game found their accounts stolen. A sample is found in battle .net in Taiwan, China. The hacker posted a topic titled “How to farm Izual in Inferno†(Izual is a boss in Diablo III ACT 4), and provided a link in the content which, as he said, pointed to a video demonstrating the means.
Simple answer, don’t click on files that are of a suspect nature. Example being a video that has a .exe extension.
Bit of a clue really.
Read on for the full piece.
