WARNING TO GMC USERS

Posted by Tasm on May 4, 2006, 9:11 p.m.

I'm sorry for making a new blog for this, but I thought it was of great importance.

Do NOT visit the GMC for several days. It has been hacked, and viruses are running amock in the server. Also, if you receive an e-mail from the GMC with the subject "Administration forums.gamemaker.nl ( From Game Maker Community )," do NOT open it. It has an .exe attached to it that is most likely a virus. The .exe is linked from a totally different domain name.

OMG HAXOR'D

Thank you, and be sure to spread the word.

NO NO NO, a hidden iframe was put on the templete… it downloads the trojan. but it is gone now, but chronic (i think it was him) put the forum down.

P.S., FIREFOX ROCKS

Firefox is nice to stop that stuff. It has less exploits. But I know it still has exploits, but hackers still don't bother on making viruses exclusive for it.

Meh, I don't care if a trojan comes and destroy the pc. Better for me, I could need to format the HD and the pc would then be faster.

heh, I love how people think that a virus got on the server and gets people when they visit. That is, for all intensive purposes, impossible. People need to learn how computers and the internet work. It's been out for years now. You'd think some people could get a hang of it.

I love how you think you're an internet master. If you read the other posts and had some kind of knowledge, you'd know that it IS infact possible to do such things.

Screw formatting, Id just say it was unfixable and get a new one. 7 years is long enough on the same computer.

Someone hacked into the GMC's controlls, and added a fun little bit of HTML to the forum. I won't be specific, but, basically, anyone who viewed the GMC, using Internet Explorer, recieved a few little…. gifts….
