AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Hey ya'll, just wanted to make a post warning about a virus that's been going around. It takes hold of a Skype user account and posts a message with a link. I've had this happen to about five people on my friends list so far, so I figured I'd make a noticeable post about it.

Please be careful!

EDIT: Funnily enough, someone else got their account infected right as I posted this.

EDIT 2: Courtesy of Darkin, here is information about the virus and what to do if infected!

I know that got ahold of Stranaton. Dunno what's causing it but I haven't been hit yet.

Crush Bandicoot, Chinmaster, and Zang have been infected. Stranaton was as well, but he got it cleared up.

Never click link shortners.

Never click links that are obvious spam.

Never share your password.

if you get infected by this you might want to remove any matches from your household and stay away from sharp things

And always practice safe sex.

so you don't store knives in your abdomen?

no I'm not a bee

Ransomware? Lord, but these guys are getting vicious.

I had a bit of ransomware once. Thank God for the iPhone.

Is that what they demanded for payment?

Heavens no. I just looked up the cure on the iPhone.

That's a pretty nifty virus.
I mean, the way it spreads is the most basic form, not leading to that many infections as long as you turn off hiding file extensions for known types (which everyone of you should do if you haven't already) to see that that supposed picture is an executable.
But the virus itself, locking down your pc that's a rather ingenius idea.

That's the kind of villain praising that gets my characters bitched at in roleplays.

TheOtherMC has been gotten by it now too.
