Recieved a P.M. from a Street Commodores member this morning.
Haven't been on that site for years and figured it may have been a 'login or you will be deleted' type message.
P.M. contained a Porn Tube Website image and as I rolled over it, I could see the links and they looked dodgy. I deleted it.
Checked their forum and they've been hit with a VBulletin software exploit whereby the person that sent the virus P.M. was not actually the sender.
Essentially everyone on that site will be sent the virus P.M., each time from a different member / sender
Plenty have fallen for it thinking it was a P.M. from a "member" they knew.
Seems they have been compromised by a flaw within VBulletins security which allows this to take place.
Googling suggests that many VBulletin Forums have been affected in the last couple of weeks. I'm guessing most good virus software on the users P.C. would pick up the threat.
No doubt Sidey is on top of things.
