May Day! May Day! The Cube Hacked on Communist Holiday

User avatar
I though it was part of the regular May Day program. You mean I won't get the neat bust with Lenin's face on one side and Obama's on the other side that I bought from MEOW's remote site in Poland?

As the unsavvy boob who may have been the first to discover this sabotage at approx. 10am I foolishly clicked what appeared to be a legitimate Microsoft virus alert that asked me if I wanted to remove the trojans. What I got was two win32 trojan downloader agents.

I ran the Malwarebytes application which said I was clean, then I ran the Ad-Aware application which found and removed the trojans. Both anti-trojan programs are available as freeware. The win32 downloaders aren't viral themselves but attract other trojans onto your machine like flies to honey.

My Sygate personal firewall logged a browser hijack at the time but did not alert me. So if in doubt, get the Ad-Aware program from Lavasoft and do a full system scan.

My superior Linux system, as well as my spidey sense telling me that I should not be seeing a Windows virus scan caused me to grab my mosin nagant and go hacker hunting.
What I caught was this...YES! ONE OF PUPOVICH'S ATTACK RABBITS! Image{off} any forensics that might lead us to the thought criminal that did this, or do we continue to blame Pupovich and his mutant hacker rabbits?

Ah hah! The nefarious Jimma Catta Nano Rabbits have been drinking Comrade Roosters special Imodium AD spiked vodka!

To comrades with Windows who may not have anti-virus you can use AVG for free and it works a charm: https://free.avg.com/us-en/homepage

Hope this helps some poor downtrodden prole of The Revolution!

I sent Red an email with some of norton log text of the redirecting jibberous. I haven't a clue if it is helpful. By-the-by, where is Pup hiding now days? Does the lack of electricity in the swamp Louisiana really prevent his attendance at the Cube in my time of need?

I jumped over to my Linux partition and also got the faux Microsoft screen which I thought was very odd. Once it came on I couldn't get rid of it and had to shut down.

BASTARDS!

User avatar
Yes, it is good trick Comrade Whoopie!!! We have fooled the party! Now we can move ahead with the revolution as planned!

Hail Obama!

I had been to reading many posts and then begin the writing in post of Comrade Chedoh when of all sudden computer went POOF! and I saw many strange symbols on screen. I go to back arrow and it to tell me i am not to be connected to did the click on back arrow again. Then POOF! I to see the hieroglyphics once more and then my AVG very good and did to catching two bad virus right away.
And then I to contact Red Square to tell him of such things. I am to be so illiterate of computer gibberish I was to believe that it was evil Teabagger Rethuglikans at the workings trying to do the hypnotizing on me to make me love capitalism and liberty and to be taking responsibility for own self and to decry entitlements and say no to gay marriage and all sorts of other evil things.
Much thanks to Progressive morals I was to resist such indoctrination.

I, too, noticed this diversionary tactic. I guess this People's Technology™ can cut both ways, so Enemies of the state better watch out...especially those in PA.

User avatar
Oh, it was hacking? I thought that to be diverse, the May Day Message was in Ancient Egyptian.

"At 6:13 am all php files on our server were modified with an injection of an encoded malicious script."

I, being of good fortune, was at work when trying to connect to the Glorious Cube (so nothing happened to beloved Home PC), but thank Obama God, that our virus detector was detecting. I figured it was some evil Leftist trying to kill the Cube and it's Cubers... just as I knew Red Square and all group of lovely comrades would get all fixed.
Hugs and kisses to all! And a spot of vodka on the house.. on me!

User avatar
Fortunately, I was entirely smashed during this onslaught and have no idea if I have cooties or not!

But due diligence would notify me otherwise....

No?

aside:

Fraulein Pulloskies, you have been reported for goofing off at work...

Hahahahaha....they think I live near Harrisburg...oops....wait!Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's Corbett's rental home just a couple of blocks from The State Capitol.I'm serious. We can have fun with some counter spin. Corbett has all of those pukes shitting their pants. He's rattled their cage and the monkeys don't like it.

Dear Comrade Buffoon, that IS my job, as any good prole knows. Progs are most progressive and well accomplished at "goofing" off. Might I remind you of the Obamer government works trolling porn sites while "goofing". It is a fine art only a true Prog is accomplished at.

I was curious about what the heck was going on, especially since it was on May Day and was looking forward to the celebrations. When I saw the jibberish, I thought you were updating again Red, so I left, and no pop up thing came on my screen (probably because I run a Mac, and the pop up only works on Windows).

Maybe we should reschedule May Day celebrations? I wanted to get a post of Johnny from "Airplane!" with his goofy May Day quote.

PA! Pennsylvania, The Party is watching you!

Oh, thank you...

It wouldn't be too hard. If enough comrades are willing, I could put up a post declaring May 10 to really be May 1st, and to enjoy the second ration of may day celebrations or what not. No sense in being a Commissar of Time without being able to muck with the calendar lol

I did not know any of this until this very moment. I recently registered! Today, in fact.

It would be ridiculously arrogant for me to take advantage of the fruits of the labor of the collective here while reading comments regarding a virus. And so I shall infect myself with Mexican swine flu. I encourage all new members to do the same!

User avatar
Welcome to collective, MarkoMancuso! The Party spirit is strong in you!

We trust you keep your proletarian shovel in good repair, displayed prominently on the wall of your hovel right next to your hammer and your sickle.

Your next destination - The People's Toolshed where you shall receive orientation training!

Greeting from the gulag, comrade Mancuso! I hope you will find gulag accommodations most suitable? Please feel free to steal take use any of the rations you find lined against the wall when proper owner sobers up, he/she said comrade will discuss usage. Every Wednesday is extra Vodka Ration Day ™so you arrive in nicky of time!

User avatar
Yes, greetings comrade Mancuso. I found your comment in the "Everyone Draw a POSITIVE Mohammed Day" thread most refreshing.

User avatar
I plan to sue the Cube and the Party and those crazy attack rabbits. Let this be your warning. Serious emotional damage was done by this hack and The People's Cube is solely to blame. Well... perhaps not "solely" to blame. My lawyers are still looking for other deep pockets who could be implicated.

...Walmart comes to mind.

User avatar
Thank goodness.

When it told me I had a virus I went straight to bed. I'm glad everything's okay but I just wasted the last few days tossing and turning and thinking I was going to die. I haven't even been able to get a Jiffy-Lobo!

User avatar
Good Lord... That Giant Bunny I found is still around... I thought Kim Jong Il ate all of them!

Anyhow... I was actually looking at all the material for that article the other day and found the follow-up stuff (along with so many aborted pieces, many of which are still viable) with Sylvester fighting the baby Kangaroo after bingeing on Viktory Vodka at a Cartoons for Carry Rally...

In any case, cargo-cult should show up again shortly, I hope. There is a bit of tech stuff to work out with new ISP because friend whose server it used to live on took care of everything for me and now I am having to learn some things, but hopefully, by Monday it should be sorted. In the mean time, I have to relearn everything around here and figure out all the new features... It's like coming home and finding out your parents have packed up all your stuff, and rented out your room... I am glad we have that apartment above the garage... more privacy anyway... heehehheh... I dunno... has been a long couple weeks with surgery and I'm a bit loopy..

Hopefully, image references with be fixed but if not, I'll go through all the images sitting on Cargo Cult and figure out where they go...

We were hacked?...

User avatar
Comrade Sister, it is good to see your smiling face and broom back around here. I trust your surgery went well?
