An interesting new scam is affecting alternative news sites

Jim Stone Freelance

Thank the Holonet for making this one a reality. I have received a report from a tech saavy friend who does not get burned by garbage like this often. This particular piece of scamware hit his machine after he spent some time alerting people to developing issues surrounding Snowden. He is not an idiot that falls into traps very easily, so this particular piece of malware is quite a bit more aggressive than most.  

This was put up on his screen when he was working to alert sleeping sheeple. And from other posts around the web, it is my guess that this malware is specifically tailored to target people who hit alternative news web sites.

If you see this malware, and you are on a desktop computer, unplug it from the wall without doing any sort of shut down. Many pieces of malware or viruses write to the registry after a proper shutdown command is given and the computer is finalizing shut down. By unplugging the computer from the wall, there is no proper shut down, and the malware vanishes from the computer’s memory. The same can be accomplished with any laptop by pressing and holding the power button down for five seconds, after which the laptop does a hard power off with no proper shut down.

With firefox, if you have restore tabs, you will have to tell the browser not to reload all pages or this will come right back up.

Obviously ignore the warning, it’s completely bogus.

  1. These types of attacks will only increase in number.

    They’re becoming desperate to stem the free flow of information.

  2. And the Elitists continue to plot the supposed mind games…….Expose the CIA & Evergreen Air for polluting our atmosphere with toxic chemicals (chemtrails). A plot by the Evil Elitists of the European Central Bank to reduce the population by making us breathe chemicals that will sicken or kill all living things…….the irony of the plot is they are breathing the same air they’re poisoning, SHREWD!!!!! CONTINUE TO FIGHT THE FIGHT THAT NEEDS TO BE FOUGHT, THAT OF REGAINING OUR FREEDOM, LIBERTY, JUSTICE & TRUTH
