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.

This isn't exactly anything new, it happened a while ago, quick solution

Tools - > Options -> General (tab) -> Show display picture from others (check box)

Turn box off.

Fixed.

 

[WoW Sucks]

Ive had my pictures not showing since the first MSN exploit

Thanks for the heads up.

Is this exploit still active. I have heard of this before, but thought it was bullshit. =/

EDIT:

Disabling the "Display Picture" feature in MSN Messenger DOES NOT prevent exploitation.

Srs.

*Vulnerable Packages:*

The vulnerability was discovered and researched on the following packages:
. MSN Messenger 6.1 on Windows 2000 and Windows XP
. MSN Messenger 6.2 on Windows 2000 and Windows XP[/quote]

Which means if you have windows live messenger, you are fine. For THAT spacific exploit at least. There is obviously a new one.
