It's been 9 Years Already... do more than KEYLOG!

"“We keep wiping it off, and it keeps coming back,” says a source familiar with the network infection, one of three that told Danger Room about the virus. “We think it’s benign. But we just don’t know.”


That's from an interview a bazillion years ago. Was it fake news? I mean, why would the u.s. military "admit" it's been compromised by an yet, unknown classified, 
class of "worm" that simply seems to be "keylogging?"


I've not read any news contrary to this; I've not read of anything that counters and/or nullifies the "effects/affect" of the worms...


I'm thinking they were infected by A.I. a long time ago, or this whole 9 year old story was bullshit. How does a worm even get into those systems without a human 
operator? Even if there was a human operator; we all leave a "footprint." 


"Military network security specialists aren’t sure whether the virus and its so-called “keylogger” payload were introduced intentionally or by accident; it may be a common piece of malware that just happened to make its way into these sensitive networks. The specialists don’t know exactly how far the virus has spread. But they’re sure that the infection has hit both classified and unclassified machines at Creech. That raises the possibility, at least, that secret data may have been captured by the keylogger, and then transmitted over the public internet to someone outside the military chain of command." 


"Specialists" don't even know? Sorry. Sounds like complete bullshit unless like I said, A.I. or some freakin' aliens or an obvious fake story or a team of operators
you are exclusively keeping this shit quiet. 


Like the whole Offutt AFB thing. Shady as phuque.

Over the past month, I've been literally seeing my text disappear and reappear, letter by letter, as I type whatever I'm typing, and then I'll see my screen blink or flash for a nano-second, and for a few seconds after the typing lag will stop, and then return until another 'blink'. It's particularly bad here and on youtube comments. I'm feeling like it's keylogging but I don't know enough to be sure. I've tried resetting my cpu to factory settings and reinstalling Windows, and it seems to work for a day or two and then it returns, and I'm wondering if it's because I have an additional external hard drive that is retaining the spyware, as I use it to back up everything, and I also run programs off of it that won't fit onto my SSD, such as games, etc. Any helpful thoughts/tips would be greatly appreciated!

Oh yikes man! Never experienced anything like that before but it definitely doesn't sound right!

Get yourself some ESET anti-virus.

Thanks for the tip, Chatwoman. I'm going to look into it.

One time, I was doing some kind of admin work on my Windows PC, and I happened to see a rootkit being downloaded to my computer as I watched.

Any suggestions on how to deal with it?

Switch to Linux, and keep your system up to date. When you update Linux, every piece of software on your PC gets updated, not just the operating system. (This assumes you haven't installed third-party software from outside the repo.)

In the case of the Windows rootkit, I deleted all of the files that the intruder had just uploaded. I don't remember what I did next, but I probably ran an antivirus scan. If it were to happen now, I'd try to identify the program that was downloading the files, and remove it.

That said, the chances of a user just happening to catch rootkit files appearing in their system folder in Windows Explorer are exceedingly remote in the first place.

You can see which programs are doing what in your firewall. Some firewalls allow you to set the warning level ridiculously high, to the point that it'll alert you about every little bit of network activity, e.g., every time a program accesses the Internet. It gets obnoxious after awhile. It can scare the bejeezus out of you if you don't know what all of those alerts mean. I remember Black Ice Defender constantly displaying an ominous-looking flashing icon in the system tray on a PC I had years ago.

The problem with unix is driver support. I mean its the most bad ass OS, but until some dude codes some driver for some equipment, you may be left out in the cold. Best boot multiple OS.
