Just a PSA about a hijacker that has been making it's rounds in the competitive community.
The message has looked something like this:
2:57 PM - ... : https://www.dropbox.com/s/[removed]/screenshots.rar - explain these photos please..
The download is a rar of src files which install a rootkit that can take control of your computer if ran.
People have had varying success with removing the worm, but I've heard Kaspersky can pick it up and remove it, but MSE will not be enough. Other people have had to strait up reinstall windows.
I know of at least 5 people on my friends list who have been phished, so just watch out.

The reason its a bad issue is because a admin of UGC and map maker named Redrum was hacked. So people think he is sending them pictures of a new map or idea.

Our fate is sealed.
I was hit pretty hard by downloading it, but it's really easy to remove.
Malware Bytes and Malware Bytes Anti-Root Kit. Make sure that if you've downloaded these, disconnect from the internet before you run them. That was my mistake.

It's a nasty phishing attempt since the ending .src is also used by apple for macintosh specific pictures.

Son of a bitch. One of the guys I helped find his first team last year got hacked by this and sent that link, had no idea. He has sent me pictures in the past of map overviews and stuff, so I didn't give it a second thought. Going to scour my computer now. Son of a bitch.

It's nuked. Wasn't expecting to see something like that on steam, especially from another comp player. Live and learn, I guess. I need to get my steam frame of mind to match my email state of mind, for some reason I was trusting steam more than other things.

Noting this, a good way to track down the people who hijacked your account/items is to go on outpost and look at the history of trades/search for unusuals that the person had.

Yeah file a support ticket, probably won't get your items back, but they can help you regain control of the account. Usually takes them a week or two.

Also I think they make special exceptions if your account was hijacked, and will give your items back to you. Not sure on this, but I think it's right.
