|    Malicious PPStreamSetup.exe hack    |
|    21 Nov 08 17:14:57    |
      From: jmose@mapson.attglobal.net              OK, here's a first. One of my clients was using my application when a Windows       window popped up saying 'Copying...'. They cancelled this, since they didn't       start it. A minute later, the app stopped working.              Someone had hacked into their server & installed ppstreamsetup.exe in their       shared folder, and also stolen all of their forms, reports, and libraries       - but no tables! Luckily we back up their data to our servers nightly so       they didn't lose anything.              I've changed their share folder security to remove 'Everyone', so hopefully       that keeps them out. They've got a network tech coming in tomorrow to make       sure.              I'm still not sure if they ran the setup or just installed it for later.        Either way, I deleted it.              Just an FYI.       Jim Moseley              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
