Weird. I just got warned by Malwarebytes that nerdculture.de was "potentially malware/tracker/trojan." I'ma tell it to trust that domain for now, but consider it a warning for anyone who wanted to know.

@order tagging you since it's your domain, so you may wanna investigate

Lisa Kaplan, CEO of Alethea, describes an emerging threat to organizations and businesses that bears some similarity to malware—disinformation.

"Disinformation is fast, cheap, and easy to do."

An astounding factoid from ex-Twitter expert that highlights why fighting disinformation is so difficult: Most people see disinfo before platforms can act—90% of the average post's lifetime impressions happen in the first three hours.

No thank you to CyberGhost VPN for suggesting me to install the malware Restoro 🤬
Why would a VPN company give a license for that shit?!
Thanks to Malwarebytes for helping me getting rid of it.

Anyone else seeing an issue with sending enormous numbers of outbound calls to malicious addresses when it's running? I reinstalled from the latest image and it's still doing it. They're getting flagged by , but they aren't false positives; I'm checking these against known report portals directly and they're all flagged as dangerous ... Immediately stops when the VPN client is disconnected. (Doesn't seem to happen when I've got the tunnel active though).

Y'all need to seriously abandon malware bytes - that software is trash and the number of headaches it causes instance admins with false reports is absurd.

Malwarebytes doesn't understand the fediverse and uses outdated RBL lists to warn about risk without regard so everyone running instances on shared infrastructure or dedicated servers that have IPs that MB doesn't like gets reported... for false positives.

If you run Windows, just use windows defender, and rid yourself of that MB trash.

(This comment could have been avoided if MB had a facility to remediate this instead of dumping you to a forum that never gets answered and scaring people away for reasons of their own making)

My sister tried to fix her printer yesterday and unfortunately clicked on one of those remote support sites. She let the “agent” take over her Mac desktop and use Terminal. After an hour of tech garbage, agent said the mac needed a “cleanse” of all the extra files. Sis declined and then called me.

I told Sis to run (nothing found), sign up for MB premium (it had either lapsed or she’d lost the login), and notify her credit cards. What else should she do?

@SueNeu On I run both and , not saying those are the best but I have not been infected so I suppose that's something. I guess in the case of software, if you can install it and rarely have to think about it again, that's a good thing, it means it is probably doing the job.

I also use which, although not antivirus software, does help keep software from deliberately or inadvertently connecting to dodgy sites that may have virus payloads.

shills are using the blog post about Mastodon (specifically mastodon.online) as justification for blocking. Apparently, the site is associated with Trojan. I hope someone makes an inquiry about this.
