Hello all,

Good idea.

Yes I did received this link from the Skype account of Maureen.

It will be useful to explain how to avoid it and maybe also what to do if it is to late and you already click on the link?

All the best

SeB

Objet : [technology taskforce] Skype Virus: Need for an Advisory

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-spam/

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#jqybyqoc=pentaceros

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 ?
