More Amusing Malware




So this one really cracked me up. My friend and co-worker Matt are chatting about this and that with an infected client sitting behind us running a virus scan when BOOM the computer came to life with another of your garden variety fake AV. It was funny and sad at the same time.

It gets better, after pulling the Ethernet plug out and watching to see what Matt calls the bad mojo was going to do next (several minutes passed, not much happening) then all of a sudden the following warning about an attack/threat from a specific IP.

If the bad guys can block threats even when the computer is offline, that is simply cool and yet unfortunately impossible. I love my job.
