Hi,

A random client asked for a background removing job with some images attached (compressed file).
Just opened the image, virus threat pop up and when i checked the details regarding the malware, it is used to steal sensitive information like password,records etc.

" Uses your PC camera to record you or send information about what keys you press to a malicious hacker :

I’ve changed all my passwords and other security credentials
So I’m pretty much upset hope it will be alright.

STAY SAFE.

Regards,
Shinu Francis

This happened to me a long time ago. They have hooked up a key logger in my PC, which logged every activity and sent it to an email. I have copied important data outside (not dropbox because logger can log it also) and formated everything and re installed windows. I also advise you guys to demand uncompressed files.

Thanks for sharing! It would be great if Fiverr had antivirus software to detect potential threats too.

Get Norton Internet Security. They have a great customer service.
