Warning! Do not open any files sent by users

Man should be awarded 2 helpful buttons for today. Really caring for members and not just the money like many do on this site.

really good work bro. Thanks for the help.
May the Almighty bless you :raised_hands:

iOS and macOS should be fine, so there’s no need to worry about this (in my opinion). I’ve been trying for a while to find some important information, but I haven’t come across anything that seems suspicious.

However, as SWAPD has mentioned, I highly recommend you double-triple-check before sending cryptocurrency to anyone.

It’s also a good idea to review your social media login activities, among other things. Check your SWAPD login activities by going to Preferences > Security.

Furthermore, it’s advisable to change the passwords of your social media accounts and other important accounts.

We’ve severely limited the amount of filetypes allowed to be uploaded to SWAPD now. Regardless, you should always be wary of opening files and clicking links.

FACTS!

I downloaded and opened it on my android phone last night. I opened it on doc app and it said “It’s protected , you need permission” something like this.

Does anyone know how to clean or check for viruses on Android ? I deleted the file now.

Everything of mine is in this phone and I’m freaking out :sob:

I think you’re fine

I just used multiple virus scanner apps to scan my phone and they say I’m safe and I moved the important things from my phone ,:disappointed_relieved:

I opened that ■■■■ yesterday, twice on my Android phone. What should I do now? @SWAPD

So far no one reported any actual losses or harm done, so that’s good. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t clean your PC.

Damn!!!

WTF. Had a crying session yesterday seeing my portfolio down 20% and now this douchebag coming with this.

Get whatever you want. Just don’t delete my “How to win a war with 3 inch sword” folder. It contains a precious research.

Thanks!!

Quick update, ever since I opened this file on my Macbook I’ve been experiencing extreme CPU problems. I’ve just found out I had a crypto miner/malware running on the background all this time.

I’m not sure if it came from this file but I do think there is a high chance it could’ve. I don’t have much knowledge on this so it’s just a guess but as it started to happen around the same time I thought I’d mention it.
