[quote=AVG Blogs]That’s very simple Downloader/Backdoor behavior and we are only interested in looking for key logging code for Diablo III so we didn’t pay much attention to it.
But an astonishing scene staged at this time. A chatting dialog popped up with a text message:
(Translated from the image below)
Hacker: What are you doing? Why are you researching my Trojan?
Hacker: What do you want from it?
[img]http://blogs.avg.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/image4.jpeg[/img]
The dialog is not from any software installed in our virtual machine. On the contrary, it’s an integrated function of the backdoor and the message is sent from the hacker who wrote the Trojan. Amazing, isn’t it? It seems that the hacker was online and he realized that we were debugging his baby.
We felt interested and continued to chat with him. He was really arrogant.
(Translated from the image below)
Chicken: I didn’t know you can see my screen.
Hacker: I would like to see your face, but what a pity you don’t have a camera.

He is telling the truth. This backdoor has powerful functions like monitoring victim’s screen, mouse controlling, viewing process and modules, and even camera controlling.
We then chatted with hacker for some time, pretending that we were green hands and would like to buy some Trojan from him. But this hacker was not so foolish to tell us all the truth. He then shut down our system remotely.
Regarding this malware, no Diablo III key logging code was captured. What it really wants to steal is dial up connection’s username and password.
It sounds like a movie story, but it’s real. We are familiar with malware and we are fighting with them every day. But chatting with malware writers in real time doesn’t happen so often. Next time, I will be on the alert.[/quote]

For the sake of a good laugh, here is the first comment:
[quote]I experienced something similar once, my boss who was a quadriplegic with cerebral palsy and that typed with his hat had a web design and hosting startup and I was his only employee. A hacker got on the Linux and was trying to gain control of the system, my boss saw it and tried to stop him and the hacker started chatting with him and told him to go away and leave him alone. so my boss frantically typed with his hat one key at a time and managed to outmaneuver him, he shut down the system and it worked.[/quote]
That quadriplegic boss is a champion.
Was hoping for a longer, more interesting conversation than "what r u doing stop"

Should stick a picture of a shock image over your webcam.
Actually, that would probably get the hacker angry and he'll just destroy your computer.

Or a GIF of a naked girl, etc, etc.
Alternativley:
Imagine if a LMAO Pics browser made a virus to view webcams and they found one of "That Cat"
I got a virus like that once :\

Your computer probably needs to be destroyed anyway if you're using it to print out things like lemonparty and goatse to paste over a webcam.
Holy crap that's pretty cool actually but pretty scary at the same time.

I'm assuming there's more use to this than it appears (little to none)

I seriously doubt that a virus could "destroy" a computer. Fuck up windows? probably, but the only way of it possibly destroying a victims PC would to break the BIOS by overwriting it, easily fixed with a EEPROM programmer and some know how.
I wonder, how secure would I be if I downloaded a similar virus onto a VM? Will the hacker somehow gain access to my network?

Easier still if your system has a backup BIOS.
what the fuck?^^^
That's disgusting.
thats amazing, Atheism

That is not how you eat a Snickers.
I come into this thread to awe, instead I'm bawing over shit.
That's a pretty damn big literal shit-post.
That seems like such a weird function for a hacker to add to his program. There's almost no need for it really...unless he had it in just for moments like this to tell people to "stop" (like that would work).

It're really big business actually.
Atheism: Yes.

An thats why you aim your webcam at your ceiling so they can see the pretty walls of your room.

The hacker is Chinese.
Free, anonymous Internet access over there... It's a worthy target for malware.

Plus, y'know, passwords. Information that can be sold on the market. As it's tied to someone it can actually be identified and used for identity theft, account hijacking, normal usage, etc.
[QUOTE=Mr.T;36433789]I wonder, how secure would I be if I downloaded a similar virus onto a VM? Will the hacker somehow gain access to my network?[/QUOTE]
No. Even simple and free viruses like CyberGate and DarkComet have been programmed to not even launch the virus if it detects that it's running on a virtual machine or in a program sandbox.

Did Atheism's post get removed? I cannot see it. Like literally, it's just not there.
Or maybe a Trojan has infected my computer and is secretly deleting Facepunch, one post at a time! :tinfoil:
