<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "GW site might be infected"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/7.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net GW site might be infected GW today when one of the regulars called. From what I understood, the regular claimed to have noticed a virus on the GW site because of where he works(some sort of Military IT). Apparently, its the sort of virus that records information(names, dates, credit card numbers....) and emails them to the maker.

The redshirt called the US IT department and they did not seem worried about. However, I now this person who called and he tends to not exaggerate or make jokes like this.

Take from this what you will, just a heads up.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345584/2425558.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345584/2425558.page GMT GW site might be infected http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345584/2425579.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345584/2425579.page GMT GW site might be infected

Given my experiences with military computer security, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the infection was on their end.

To paraphrase, 'This system is so riddled with virus, malware, and stuff I don't even have a name for that the only thing we can do is wipe it clean and start over. Yes, it had a full suite of anti-virus software, but no one on your end has bothered to update it in the four years since it's been installed. No, not having an internet connection doesn't protect it when you have a dozen people sticking USB drives in it every day."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345584/2425724.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345584/2425724.page GMT Re:GW site might be infected
Also, the "US IT Department"? What does that even mean? Is it an 800 number? If I call will they ask me to reboot it three times?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345584/2425814.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345584/2425814.page GMT
