Anyone get bit by the Zeus Virus or another that had you enter SS#/DL#/ATM/PIN?

LOL! But to be fair, it could have been one of the virii that deleted those files.

It could have, but they did too. I told them next time keep the history intact so I can look, but the cookies and files can go.

With all the shit Amazon Payment made me enter, I'd be hard pressed to know if it was sketchy or not.

No, because I'm not an idiot

as for the http://demo.chase.com

Perhaps he's pointing out it's not an encrypted connection like https://....

I bet he's up to date on his mortgage payments however.

I live in a run-down shack. Crack house next door.

Wait, is that not how it is for everybody around here?

I have seen it with a person at work. It injects a site from the local installation, so that random sites you go to will prompt you (facebook, citicards, chase, etc). Very interesting stuff. So the URL you are seeing is valid, even the SSL cert will say it's correct, but the rest of the site is being redirected from the virus.

http://demo.chase.com <--- there's your problem

Learn URL / hostname formatting. "demo.chase.com" is a subdomain of chase.com, and, by itself, doesn't indicate anything suspicious. However, the malware could have easily hijacked DNS look-ups for *chase.com from that machine, so it really wouldn't matter if it said "www.chase.com" ...it could still be malware / phishing.

Yes, that's what makes it so effective. I read about this about a year ago. In addition to OP's advice, I'd recommend a dirty-browser clean-browser strategy. Chrome gets patched all the time and they spend lots of money on bounties for exploits so that's my default dirty-browser for non critical stuff or stuff I don't really care if it gets hacked. I use opera for stuff where I really need not to get hosed and have javascript disabled.

no, but I think he did your mom in one, just sayin' that's all.

Wow. 6 hours and 6 replies later and the best you can come up with is a 'your mom' joke? Sorry, but your "friend" still sounds a lot like you.

For the record bro, until they returned my last payment about 12 months ago; I had made every payment properly and on time. Whether some clerical/computer/etc error or whatever happened, none of those payments were recorded by them into my loan.

They were paid a total of about $111,000 over those 48 months that I have nothing to show for. My 'current due' is about $350k when my original principal was $265k.

It wasn't even so much that my house tanked to $70-80k either.

The main reason was when the 5% and 6% fixed rate cards I had about $50k of school loans on, plus the other $30k of debt I had at around 7-9% went to 25% overnight and almost bankrupted me, and the mortgage company kept saying over and over "we will fix this, just give us more time" and then 1 month after calling me to tell me they located my payments and will finally get everything sorted out...they started the foreclosure against me.

Fortunately my home was burglarized and I was able to stroke a $30k check to the school loan balance, pull out a loan from my 401k and have my wife load up the rest at mostly 0%. I then majorly increased my salary over the next two years of that and elimated all but the last $10k that came from my surgery and a major car maintenace last month

I did nothing wrong in my payment of my mortgage, however; this bank's clusterfuck allows me an easy way out and also possible damages.

Was it the same "friend" who burgled your house?

And I thought you paid extra for the extended warranty. :hmm:

it wasn't a joke.

ahh sigh....

my house was one of a string of 3 houses. I doubt if it was an inside job I would have trashed the place as well, stole $5000 more tools than my limits as well as $2500 in computer gear over my limits, and abuse my dog trapped in his crate.

Warranty <> maintenance.

I guess it's out of your class ranking to understand, but my 40k mile service needed new rotors, valve adjustment, sun roof felt, a few other odds and ends.

Just the cost of my oil discounted is $100.

I guess you are probably feeling superior now in your Kia Rio.
