CAUTION! - MSN Display Picture Keylogger!

[magna fr34k]

Someone has found a exploit in MSN.

He is now Key logging people, Via MSN display picture.

Be cautious as to who you add on MSN, he only has to get you on their.

Make sure they PM You the Email before adding you!.

I'm 95% sure this is how Annex and The_Prodigy(Fagex Admin) got Key logged.

Again, Be cautious who you add to MSN, i'll keep you updated.

Just turn off your display pictures and you don't have to worry about this.

1. Load up msn messenger.
2. Go to tools.
3. go to options
4. go to general
5. uncheck the box that says "show display pictures from others"

Have fun and stay safe..

Thanks for this.

Agree with upper post,altough when you start convo with person your computer loads a picture from him/her and applies it to display..

It's happened to me, the guy admits to getting annex aswell... If someone asks you to log in to rs for no apparent reason DO NOT do it. This is his technique of getting mills.

Well, think about this. MSN displays the picture automatically, doesn't it? How easy would it be for someone to make it so it "displays" an exe file that your client automatically runs?

 

[mopar-user]

[Sas]

1) if its turned off then it doesnt run that shit?
2) this happened b4? LOL

before i didn't think it's possible but it is a direct connection because if someone changes their dp you can get their ip with a msn script.. so its the same thing as transfering files.

 

[el-loco-uno]

Just turned off my display pics.

 

[Dedicated Sythian]

Im going to also.

Good. You understand. Instead of opening and displaying the picture, it opens the exe file.

If scammers that do this type of shit put their mind to good use.....Man, think what they could do for the community!!!!

Too bad scammers are scammers. As I said, if a lot of them turned good they'd be very helpful to a lot of people. Especially in preventing this type of stuff. Good thing this was caught on to, I just turned mine off aswell. Thanks

Heh, I use Windows Messenger, that does not use DPs...I'm safe, oui?
