Virus Server? [Hoax]
« on: September 24, 2014, 09:03:52 pm »
Somebody just sent me a TF2 Reddit link to a topic warning about a server out there that downloads virus' and steals accounts. I forgot the link, but i'd still like to put it out there for you guys to be careful when using the "Internet" tab.

I think it said something about it being a name with random numbers in it... that being the obvious thing to avoid.

Anyway, if you can link it here, t'would be good.

Many thanks. Good to know you can get it back though.

As always friends, keep aware and watch for excessive numbers!

I'm somewhat skeptical, but it's Valve so anything is possible.

There have been similar source server based exploits in the past for tf2 and gmod, but these were the results of developers pen-testing the game and were reported to Valve, nothing like this in the wild though.

You do realize that VoiDeD uses the computers of the players that connect to the SXH servers to mine for bitcoins without their knowledge, right? How else do you think he pays for the servers and his cocaine addiction? Selling his body on street corners only pays for about half of the monthly bill.

So that's who that guy in the fox suit on my corner is...

Usually around Trading Hell and Zombie Hell. Message me on Steam if you need something.
