i-fresh.netWarning to users who download utorrent at Sep 13th
Please be careful
Security Incident
This morning at approximately 4:20 a.m. PT, the uTorrent.com and BitTorrent.com Web servers were compromised. Our standard software download was replaced with a type of fake antivirus ?scareware? program.
Just after 6:00 a.m. PT, we took the affected servers offline to neutralize the threat. Our servers are now back online and functioning normally.
We have completed preliminary testing of the malware. Upon installation, a program called ?Security Shield? launches and pops up warnings that a virus has been detected. It then prompts a user for payment to remove the virus. We recommend anyone who downloaded software between 4:20 a.m. and 6:10 a.m. PT run a security scan of their computer.
We take the security of our systems and the safety of our users very seriously. We sincerely apologize to any users who were affected.
Clarification: This only affects users who downloaded software specifically from utorrent.com or bittorrent.com between the hours above this morning. Users who previously downloaded our software are not affected.
Update #2: After further analysis, we don?t believe BitTorrent.com or the BitTorrent Mainline/Chrysalis clients were part of the incident.KingOfDCP Reviewed by KingOfDCP on . Warning to users who download utorrent at Sep 13th Please be careful :facepalm: Source Rating: 5
