Possible Virus Threat - Scud - 06-14-2012 Guys, One of the Blitz Officers caught a new member posting a PDF file claiming to detail the JTCS CS encryption system. The post was immediately flagged, but probably not before some members saw it and possibly downloaded the file. To any member who downloaded or opened this PDF, I recommend you scan your computer for viruses, updating your definitions first, and scan for malware as well. Virused PDFs are all the rage at the moment, though they usually arrive in your email. Even if the file is legit, the fact that it is exposing hacks and trying to hurt a game we all play and love—to say nothing of the company and friends that put it out there for us—is disgusting. In the future, I don't recommend opening files on the Blitz unless the member is known to you. This guy was obviously bogus. When in doubt, alert an officer to check into anything you feel is suspicious. Thanks, Dave RE: Possible Virus Threat - Warhorse - 06-14-2012 Jeez, that blows!! RE: Possible Virus Threat - Big Ivan - 06-14-2012 Excellent Post Dave, Thanks for the heads up! John RE: Possible Virus Threat - Otto von Blotto - 06-15-2012 Sad and lonely comes to mind, why would anyone get so upset by a very old game that they would try to pull this stunt on it's players. sounds like enough sour grapes to start a vineyard. RE: Possible Virus Threat - Warhorse - 06-15-2012 wonder if it's our "old friend" from Matrix?! A certain dumb nor ix!!
