Clever bebo virus

    There's a virus doing the rounds this morning through bebo mail, which is basically phising for passwords. The email says something along the lines of "OMFVHGKSA!! check out this cool link ....." which brings you to a page that looks like the bebo login page, prompting you to enter your username and p/w. Pretty standard stuff so far, but the reason I thought i'd post it here is because of a clever little thing it does, which I can't quite figure out. Because you get it in your bebo mail, you are currently logged into bebo when you click the link, and the page uses this to load a php page which has the viral email in it, then automatically submits it to bebo a split second later. Therefore the email propegates itself without a user even falling for the fake screen.

    Here's the link ***WARNING - DO NOT CLICK IF YOU HAVE A BEBO ACCOUNT AND ARE SIGNED IN/HAVE "REMEMBER ME" BOX TICKED*** http://captainbarbossa.110mb.com/Bebossa.php, for anyone who wants to see it. I've also included the source code for anyone that's interested. And I know that ethically I really be shouldn't be describing a worm as "clever"!

    And no, before anyone asks I didn't create it!

    And yes, I have reported it to bebo and the host server of the site (I pretend I did it to be a good net citizen, but really it's because I'm annoyed that it tricked me!)

    This kind of crap annoys me no end. The people who acually spend time on this crap and abuse their meagre knowledge of coding should be shot at dawn.

    There's probably more to it in the PHP source. I'd guess it's using the referrer url and/or query string to perform a replay attack on bebo and send the mail.

    From what you describe, it's not that big a deal, more of an irritating proof-of-concept virus.

    Aye, it's no biggie at all but the majority of bebo users are not very technically savvy (sp? :p) so would fall for the phising trick.

    i'm more worried as to why the author of this phising trick wants bebo accounts.

    Yeah, that one was a bit beyond me too! Maybe to get email addresses for spam?

    To be honest, half of the users on bebo are stupid. So i'd assume a lot of people would click it. And i think they deserve it.

    Viruses are good in many ways.. As regards putting pressure on the IT industry to keep improving things.

    90% of them are stupid. The other 10% should really know better . The IT industry should DDOS the fukn thing 24/7 , would save loads of aggro and time.

    No, but ethically speaking, praising an unethical act could be considered a bit of an ethical no-no in itself.

    Not if you're purely commenting on its intricacy or inspired employment of technology.

    Well... it's not really a virus, more like an XSS attack propogated through worm-like tactics.

    I landed on this board, while researching the "BEBO Virus" This virus is not so clever, it is however oportunistic. AOL has moved their AIM and AOL profiles to this server, and they even offer the ability to log in to Bebo using your AOL or AIM credentials! Yes, you can even read your AOL Mail on their site.

    I have been a member of AOL since 1995, and BEBO, or the Virus, got my master screen credentials, as well as my address book, and my Buddy List! They have been spamming them ever since.

    I think I have really good security on my computer, and do not have any signs of a "real virus", but I have had my security breached, via AOL. And there really does need to be an investigation in to identity theft, because that is what it is.

    I guess I will leave the "Social Networking" to those who don't know any better. I hope my take on the "BEBO Virus" helps some one.

    Best Regards,
    AHOS

    The sooner Bebo crashes and burns to the ground, the better. I admire anyone who plays a part in speeding this up.
