high chance - chaturbate infect me with flash malware

[CPA-Rush]

i was surfing the exhib section of the the site yesterday ,
my flash player was not updated , i have been getting many warning to update to latest firefox version which has patched flash plugin. but i ignored that .


i always like older versions because they are lighter and stable + classic look , however i was forced 100% after what happened with chaturbate to update browser .


please read

so first thing i did noticed that left me suspicious while in female room the video player went white -not loaded correctly..in few sec's internet become very slow and laggy i decided to try search engine to check normal functions there is no much multimedia but google notify me that my computer network sending a lot of requests "unusual traffic " i have to put the captcha letters-numbers to continue...seems my computer under bot attack !

i googled the reason of this problem the answer was malware :O

https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/86640?hl=en

pay attention i'm the only person who use this wireless network setup it by myself nobody around can hack it ! its WPA2 / AES with strong long key and mac filter ....also i can't believe someone can hack me from internet in fact my laptop using ubuntu precise if i'm noob clicked on something 99% chances they can't get me.

router is shutdown now ....using another one maybe i should not trust them by allowing flash

technically what malicious flash able do 1,2,3 could be above my knowledge but i had a look into router though no strange ports opened, forwarded ... i hope they are not spreading something nasty to machines with older specs.


in case chaturbate was not the source of problem (lets say slow program active in the background that killed all my network ) i apologize for making this thread but my brain radar spotted chaturbate .

What kind of protection are you running? Meaning anti-virus, anti-malware, etc...

Let's see, You don't run any protection and you don't update your software. You have no way of knowing if you have been infected with crap for the past 5 years.

But you know that there is a "high chance that chaturbate infected you" ???

There is a high chance that you are an idiot and really owe Chaturbate an apology.

sarettah expressed this a bit harsh, but it's true that you should be very careful with such accusations.

This Google message is not a proof that you are infected with malware. It is only an indicator. There could also be something wrong with your network settings.

I know this message very well, as I get the same when I automatically scrape data from Google or use SEO tools. Are you doing something similar?

You are using Linux. This decreases the chances of an infection even further. You should, however, always update your software.

Finally, even if you really got infected, there still would be no proof that this comes from chaturbate. You could have been infected a long time ago and the malware only got active recently.

1. I don't love Chaturbate. I do hate idiocy. If there is an issue with Chaturbate then people do need to know. Unfortunately, you have not proved in any way that the issue you are experiencing comes from Chaturbate.

2. If you wanted to report a problem, you should report it to Chaturbate not GFY's Q&A section which is for Questions and Answers.

also this the second time u be rude with me on the public forum .

I was not rude to you. I was trying to make sure I understood the issue. Your description of it was poor. I asked questions. So, now attempting to understand someone is being rude? I will remember that.

mr, please can you stick to subject without insult or mocking ?

I have stuck to the issue. The issue is that you claim that a sponsor infected you with malware through flash. Your proof is that you went to the sponsor's site, which is no proof at all. You also went to Google, you probably went to other sites but you know for sure that there is a "High chance" that your computer got infected by the sponsor.

That really is no proof at all.

Btw, the message that google gave you (and the captcha) indicates that your computer is sending stuff out not getting hit. Like Marvin says, that is what google does when you are hitting it too fast and too often.

if i did waited more to see further symptoms ... maybe i could not be online now ?? no worries just guessing ! gr8
but only because the truth is really good i have not seen a weird code executed or any shit like this .

taking quick actions helped me to stay safe

2. If you wanted to report a problem, you should report it to Chaturbate not GFY's Q&A section which is for Questions and Answers.

i wanted to share my problem with gfy so i get better ideas. also to let people with older apps know about it , that's it .

LMAO

i don't open many sites at the same time .

Btw, the message that google gave you (and the captcha) indicates that your computer is sending stuff out not getting hit. Like Marvin says, that is what google does when you are hitting it too fast and too often.

the whole issue started on chaturbate , thankfully i'm sure the plugin is up to date now i will keep monitor the situation .

....SOMECODE

if true
echo '<div id="users_to_show"> - are in room ';
echo '</div></span>';

else echo ' <div id="null"> <strong>Not in room . </strong></div>';

can u guide me ?

You could scrape a page and pick up that information perhaps.

curious would this be easier if it was html page ?

The way I see to get at that info is to periodically grab the code for the page you want to monitor, search it for the list of users viewing and interrogate that. Now, that info may or may not be available in a page scrape. If the list is injected via javascript it is harder to get at.

I was just trying to make sure I understood what you were saying/asking so I don't give you a bum answer.

Unfortunately grabbing the page for the chat room won't give us what we want unless we also follow the javascript. That can get sticky.

I was just checking and the user list is injected into the room via javascript/ajax so we could try to go grab the url that ajax is calling and see if it would give us a list back.

If I get a chance I will poke around and see what there is to see.

"beside being quick with judgements" u made me look strictly noob when i called the chat URL (feed) it wasn't fatal error though ,then i pmed u to tell u that was cruel .


humans are not perfect its okay to accept others mistakes .

Well, sorry you felt that way, as I said that day, it was not my intent. Just because you felt that way though did not mean I was rude.

A feed is a particular thing and it has particular information in it. You confused me when you called something a feed that was not a feed. Since the discussion did center around the feed, it was a key component towards trying to understand what you were asking.

It is not my fault that you did that and I was not being rude or cruel when I questioned it. I was merely trying to give you good information.

But don't worry about it because it certainly will not happen again.
