hacked wtf?

[Dexter]

Same thing just happened to my brother, I did a new hard drive reinstall of windows 7 virus "legit from cd" software. Downloaded tibia from tibia.com and bbot from this site.

He played for a few days on his fresh install and was just hacked, He said someone had orange writing had messaged him called something like Tibia Agent, White lettering appeared in middle of his screen such as "ghost ship" writing, saying he was using 3rd party software. Then his account got hacked and he was able to recover it but lost all items and gp.

Only thing that alters his client is bbot, I work as a computer technician for over 12 years, I'm positive he had nothing else on his computer.

Maybe bbot has been compromised? Not saying bbot sucks! horrible, none of that because I love this bot, but please check everything, whomever is responsible for coding bbot.

Really his brother was very naive to fall this scam. The "bbot" do not inform any kind of message on the screen unless someone create a script to display it.

I do not doubt his qualifications as technical computing, but that does not guarantee that you have 100% certainty that the system was not infected. In my opinion this is hubris, and it is never good in any area.

Have you heard of zeroaccess rootkit? If yes, should know that it installs in the MBR of your machine and even formatting or installing a new system will not remove it. That's what I said is just one example that we are not 100% sure when it comes to infections or clean systems.
