I don't know if Stu was planning on posting this himself -- given the recriminations floating around here recently, I wouldn't be surprised if he avoided this place like the plague -- but it looks like he's actually been doing what others only talked about: hunting down the hackers.

In any event:

Of course, this could just be a big ol' setup to get us all to install something nasty that will cause our machines to spew crickets, or it might be something very useful that brings us closer to some real answers.

Who's going to be the first to install it?

This is pretty huge.


Based on the "side effects" section of the EULA, it looks like this thing could be responsible for the dreamscape participants' (heretofore, the infected) presence in BAs nightmares, not to mention BA herself. Any way to get her to scan her machine for Lucky-Luckluck-McLuck...5?

Also, is there any way to check if this program was on either Bryce or Kevin's computer? The list of 'side effects' are a little too close to home, considering what happened to them. Crying or Very sad

The side effects are a little too tidy. Of course a poorly translated spyware program is the cause of everything! Sounds like Stu's having a laugh at the expense of our troubles. Where the hell did he even find this?

Shocked

I'm going to go ahead and sticky this so that it doesn't get lost in amongst some of the other, more unconventional (?), discussions of late. Feel free to branch out into other threads if needed, but we can use this one for a "what we know" about Lucky 5 Smile

OMG! Art... do you see? we've got some malware! Looks like we're back on topic! How are you going to be able to avoid this now? Razz

Well that would certainly be a lot of help. I looked over the disclaimer and such and I can't really make out anything useful that hasnt already been mentioned. Of course I'm pretty tired so I'll probably go over it in the morning. Good luck.

I posted to another thread but should add it here. My Windows machine here at home seems to already have had Lucky 5 installed on it. I would have remembered seeing those install screens, but Stu seems to imply (in a Hunter S. Thompson way) that it was bundled with pirated software in a way that installed it in the background as part of some other installation process?

We have to at least consider the idea that the "server infections" are another vector for spreading the parasiteware. Hard to narrow it down further than that, I didn't really keep track of everything I've done on this machine this year to be definitive.

Anyone else who DOESN'T remember ever installing anything like this see it lurking on a machine of theirs?

Let me know if you need any help with that. I've been itching to get my hands on some meaningful code. =)
