I think its a good idea to share security tips. Please raise it on the TTF meeting at ICANN57 so it can be taken as an action item. Dev Anand On Sun, Oct 30, 2016 at 5:54 AM, Daniel Nanghaka <daniel.nanghaka@isoc.ug> wrote:
Hello All,
I did receive the link to in my Skype and I asked about it.
I will conduct more research into the malware. There is a software probably that could have been installed which sniffs open IMs and auto sends link.
Check, if there are unknown programs in your program manager, and delete them.
Secondly, update your antivirus program and do a full system scan.
Sometimes it even eats up files, and they fail to open with their respective programs.

Dear Dev and friends I had a request from Maureen on a Skype-based malware that sent a spam link to her entire contact list...a very embarrassing situation...
It appears to be the one referred to here:
https://blog.malwarebytes.com/cybercrime/2015/09/steer-clear-of-this-skype-s...
The actual spam message sent by the malware is as follows (with the recipient's name in the end):
http://www.baidu.com/link?url=re04XeZ54BcvMs5I6_h3T8T9xfWdghVSpFxRxyoq3zW#jq...
Would it be possible for TTF (once the Hyderabad rush is over), to send out an Advisory for At-Large on how to avoid this malware ?
