Gumblar Website Trojan

Post by Tunnelcat »

I don't know if people are aware of this little nasty going around, but it's bringing down websites right and left. Are the administrators here aware of the 'Gumblar Trojan'?

I'm a member of the AVSIM forum, but they were hacked last week and forced to shut down. Others are also falling victim. Previous to that, members began complaining of unsolicited spam showing up in their emails related to flight simming, so there were warnings that something was amiss related to AVSIM. My email address and probably my password (not being used here) was compromised from within AVSIM and now I get wads of spam since it happened. Just a warning to anyone who hasn't heard of this %$#@! thing. :twisted:
