Simey69's Warning To Everyone. Please READ this!!!
OK, I'm p!sssed off with picking up these scammers now and reporting/flagging them and being IGNORED

UPDATE - Direct Download has stepped in and banned the offenders - many thanks!!

I'm a paid up member, I expect to have scammers of this level dealt with

Since before new year, I've been reporting and flagging a number of scammer OPS, all spreading the same crap, all probably the same user behind it.

The current issue is that these fools (suspect 1 person) have now tested the water, they know they've all been caught, flagged and reported, but absolutely sweet F-A has been done, so they're pumping the downloads full of this sh!te!!

They add a file, social.png, which is actually a php file into an images folder
All the same identical infection, all carrying links (even one pushing on thread!!) to getnulledscripts site - all loaded with infections
One of them even provided an infected mirror!!


I have to have found and/or flagged and/or reported probably over a hundred now in this time frame

the OPs are:

http://bestblackhatforum.com/User-Janie-Chambers
http://bestblackhatforum.com/User-Lila-Graves
http://bestblackhatforum.com/User-Nathan-Shockey
http://bestblackhatforum.com/User-connor89
http://bestblackhatforum.com/User-Liam-Jones
http://bestblackhatforum.com/User-Joesph-Duell

There maybe/probably-are more !!

new users are getting added, they even post on each others threads!!

They even have the nerve to ask for REP - W4NKERS!!

DETECTION:

From thread viewing - screenshot of plugin/theme then a bulkyfiles link and ask for rep

After download - look for textfile referring to getnulledscripts site - also check images folders for social.png, approx 31K size

Cleaning:

The simplest method is to open the social.png file with a text editor, such as notepad, and delete all contents and save

The better way is to delete the file and also the line that calls the file from the main theme php file or functions.php file if a plugin (usually last line of file), it will look like this:
Code:
<?php include('images/social.png'); ?>

My time is, and has been for a while, quite limited - so can't check, flag, clean and re-share as easily right now.

ACTION:

Anyone that fancies visiting some of these users and reporting the infected threads, feel free, it may get admins attention at last!!

Also - feel free to back me up on this if agree and make some noise too!!

RE:
+Rep added - Thank you VERY MUCH for you help!!!

Another member "bale" has been posting warnings on infected files.

I think it is sooo sad that some people get their jollies by inflicting harm on others.

RE:
First of all, simey69 kudos for taking the time to check and report all these shit. Most of people just don't give a shit, but you spend your time to give some help, so thanks for taking the time. I have also pointed to some infected shares from time to time, but I just don't do that much. So, I'd def. buy you a beer if I knew you, just for helping out.

The truth is that 99% of all shares in this section (themes and plugins) are just reposts from other sites. Members just copy and paste the links here, and they don't check the files they're sharing because they are not their original shares. Others, just copy the links to sites they create themselves and send traffic there.

There are a couple of members who actually share themes they bought. But all the rest are just copy/paste shares just to get some rep. That's the reason I rarely share something to the themes section. I have to first check the theme or plugin to see if it's clean and then share, and that takes time out of my work. It's lame to just share something before checking it yourself, because you can put other members in trouble.

Anyway, for once more and to all members: If you want to use a theme or plugin and you don't know how to check it or you have doubts, open a free hosting account [there are hundreds of sites offering this service]. Install there your theme or plugin, and test it. If there is a redirect or other malicious code, it will show, or you'll be banned. But that's ok because you can simply create a new account and start again. If you know how to set up a local server [like xampp] do that instead.

This is a blackhat forum, and there are all sorts of infected stuff shared all the time, so don't trust you legal accounts or hosting to things you download from here or anywhere else. Check first.

Once again, thanks simey69!
