PSA: Update WinRAR, exploit going stealing coins

in #bitcoin • 5 years ago (edited)

Lately there was a bug found that is 19 years old and that left loads of people. Luckily people also did not know about it.. until they released update in feb.

Today loads of crypto forums and social networks were hit with rar files that say theres a dump of ie Bitfinex or other exchange. If you downloaded such thing - get your computer off the internet and try to save the coins.

Nobody ever updates winrar (myslef included) so hackers relased loads of those files.

You need to be on version 5.70 to be free of the exploit.

If you opened odd rars look for:
%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\ "IntelAudio.exe"

this is the virus.
