Warning! Do not open any files sent by users

I think sharing lists should be done online using Pastebin or Swapd only!

shouldn’t download anything, if the malware is encrypted well enough the virus scanner will show its safe.

just dont download anything

just some overall tips: if someone sends you something that looks like a “pdf” or some file extension, check the properties to see if its a “.lnk” file (link), its a pretty common way people distribute malware at the moment, of course doc/excel/pdf files are up there too, but most of those require you to open them in office365 or some type of program like that and then enable macros to work, lnk file can be a .exe that appears to be a pdf

I dont use windows nor mac. I use linux, it shows me the file contains virus

@daher give me doc. I download this, but can’t open

Bro I clicked it @santan but on Windows.

But after clicking on enable macros. It didn’t pop any message and gave me an error of a corrupt file.
Nothing else than that.
I deleted the file though

What’s recommended?

And on iOS i deleted it from my files (iPhone)

probably a fake error message to distract you and make you think nothing happened.

you probably are infected, change all passwords on your phone, move crypto etc and fully wipe your pc

edit: i have to stress the importance of antivirus scans being a terrible way to help you know if you are currently infected, if the malware is encrypted with a high quality encryption (easy to get) it’ll pass the scan

your iphone will be fine, doubt a swapd script kiddie is going to have IOS 0days lol

@Rayman one thing with moving your crypto, try move it on your IOS phone or something, its possible they dropped a ‘clipper’ tool on your windows machine which will slightly change the crypto address you enter, might change 1 character in the address you want to send to, and send to them instead
