"Seth Rich died for your Sins"

[Proud liberal 80]

Did anyone else get this banner as soon as you got on DU?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

1. No, but it is quite possible that Rich was on the other side - abetting in the hacking

(for whatever unknown reason) and then was snuffed out to stop the trail by the Trump regime. right?

way too coincidental. FBI all over it right?

[NRaleighLiberal]

2. Yes, I got it. Weirded me out!

[superpatriotman]

3. I got an Uh-oh they released the Kraken

Or something like that

[Warren DeMontague]

4. Is that what they gave us this time?

Same high production values as "God Emperor Trump", I assume?

12. See post 10- screenshot

I also saw like a newscast thing. I quickly closed it, so it wouldn't infect my computer. I have no idea what it consisted of.

[L. Coyote]

5. First I saw it as two posts in one thread, one poster was skinner22

so I alerted on the posts, then the malicious code engaged and I closed the tab, quit Firefox, and pulled the plug on the modem. I made sure I had no cookies before I checked back in here.

Has anyone detected malware getting on their system?

[Iggo]

11. I was on that jury, but that's as far as I got before it all went gaga.

[NRaleighLiberal]

20. I tested mine immediately - laptop clean.

6. I did, and I had to get a new password

The hacker used my account and the system kicked me out. I assume the password was not seen by the hacker, but it was good to get a new one.

I think this hacker must be scared!

[frogmarch]

7. I got loud clangy "music" and

shouting and hieroglyphs or something.

Edited to add that I had to get a new password. I would have done that anyway.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

8. Yes, I did.

And then when DU came back I needed to get a new password. Huge hassle.

[L. Coyote]

9. You can see who is behind the Seth Rich thing on Twitter.

I followed the article it an anonymous domain in Scottsdale AZ. This matches some agent provocateur activity during the primary, fake news from anonymous domains hosted in AZ.

My number one suspect is the same gang who pushed the Macron hack on Twitter.

10. Here are three screenshots I captured before DU went offline

This is the thread that bumped me:




This was the start of the Seth Rich video:




This is the moment I started cursing at the screen.

[LeftInTX]

13. Wow!! You got screen shots. I was too freaked out.

I also got "Posting Privileges Revoked"

[bathroommonkey76]

16. I wasn't freaked out.

We see this type of stuff all the time at my job. No biggie.

On election day I also shot a video of the one that the hackers used on here.

[L. Coyote]

15. Next time you detect a malware like this, bail as fast as possible, shut down, pull connections.

You don't know if your computer is being invaded. I closed the tab, the browser, and pulled the modem power plug out. Then I did a security check. Plus, I have Sophos anti-virus running full time.

[bathroommonkey76]

17. Trust me my computer won't be 'invaded' lol

[LeftInTX]

18. I've always heard never to shut down your computer

Restarting executes the malware on start-up. Scan immediately and quarantining/deleting anything before it executes.

[bathroommonkey76]

19. Malwarebytes caught them before it executed on my computer

Real-time protection is worth it in today's world.

[L. Coyote]

21. So, this intrusion passed on malware to those reading the pages with the script? To PCs

with Windows code, I assume. Spyware? I'm on an iMac.

[bathroommonkey76]

24. Right- I'll have to go back and look at the logs

Will update later tonight.

I use Android, Windows 10, Ubuntu, and iOS on my virtual machine.

23. "Real-time protection is worth it in today's world. "

Not being very computer savvy, I pay a pretty penny for real-time protection. Business and personal.

[L. Coyote]

25. I have Sophos on my iMac, no cast.

Scanning 5 million files right now just as a precaution. Will take all day to do both drives. TimeMachine is also a real plus, but the scan takes twice as long with the back-up drive.

[Else You Are Mad]

26. Ahh! Sorry about that!

If I knew what would happen, I wouldn't have posted it!

[bathroommonkey76]

27. haha It's no big deal. n/t

[sakabatou]

14. Saw it in posts, no video

Then DU got shut down.

[NCTraveler]

22. Does this mean I'm absolved of my sins?

Kind of like a Catholic going to confessional.

His death is a pretty big price to pay for MY sins. I guess I should at least get to have a clean conscious.
