Hi everyone!
Per some advice here I posted locally on craigslist for items wanted. This morning I
received a text message saying "click here to see if my items match what you're
looking for." ? it was an image hosting site named "imgsend.com" and seemed
nearly-legit. I went there from my phone and said "missing plug-in." Odd. I went
there from my Mac. It said I needed a plug-in to view GMP-based GIMP images. GIMP
doesn't make GMP images. At this point I knew something was wrong and began to break
out my google-fu.
This is what I learned, after you click to "add plugin" it points you to a
website that redistributes GIMP with known malware and spyware. Once you have that
installed and visit the site to view your photos, the malware is activated, and likely
your banking credentials are stolen.
Just something else to be alert for.
