Re: Trojan warning (General Discussion)
Re: Trojan warning // General DiscussiongamerJan 18, 2002, 5:37am
Hey Baron,
Thankyou for alerting me and other about that file. I had no idea that it existed on my server, many users have access to that server and be assured I'll be ripping through my logs to find out who it was. I'll also be changing the password to oriox and giving it out to all except the person responsible. I'm sorry to anyone that had problems removing the sub, I'm acutally 15 to anwser any questions raised in the previous thread and Sub7 isnt my thing. -Gamer mongoJan 18, 2002, 5:50am
Jeez - you best hope someone isn't of a mood to forward this back to your
web host. A 15 year old, allows 2 or more people to access his webspace - then believes his being a juvenile, or not knowing of the nature of the file, limits his liability? <shakes head> [View Quote] baronJan 18, 2002, 6:21am
Feel free to explain that to AWC if they take any action against you, my warning had sole purpose to remind the community to NOT run executables coming from untrustworthy sources and provide some links to basic protection. I am not on a crusade against silly internet toys that give everyone and his mother the impression they are hackers. As far as I am concerned and to the extend my opinion counts to anyone here, you are 100% liable of anything residing in a domain that was registered in your name and has *your* name as administrative contact. Since the link to Sub7 was hardcoded in the exe it is a valid guess to believe someone who trusted they'd have long term or constant control of the domain space placed it there, the domain owner being the "prime suspect". If it wasn't you, I hope it was another lesson learned about trust.

I (thought I could) fully trust the users of my server. And it is not your
place nor right to comment on how I do so. I am nor juvenile or ignorant to the possibilities available to the users of it. My host does not limit the number of users of my server and much like AWCOM will not be looking to take further action, being my server it is my responsibility to do so and I will. -Gamer syntaxJan 19, 2002, 5:05am
Yea, many users have asked to use server space on oriox.com (I use it for
the SW City Forums since it supports perl and cgi) and Gamer has given it to us without any problems since he trusted the people. It could have been anyone on there. How about we wait and see who it is before accusing people, hmm? ;-) -- - Syntax - http://swcity.net [View Quote] rene sJan 20, 2002, 11:29am
And while you're at it, could you possibly remove the porn link from
your site? It will take more than a dirty picture to shock me, but you seem to forget that a lot of AW citizens are children (even) younger than yourself.

You shouldn't try to impose your values on other people. I've seen
Oriox.com, and I don't think it's specifically for children, anyway. -Agent1 [View Quote] rene sJan 20, 2002, 2:30pm
You missed the point, Agent1. The page contains Active Worlds material
and is advertised in this news group, which is teeming with 12-14 year olds. Furthermore, I am not imposing my values on anyone because pornography has nothing to do with values, as has theft or murder.

Hmm....but if this guy's 15, and hes putting links to porno sites on his
site, wouldn't that be technically illegal since the legal age to view that stuff is 18 in most countries? [View Quote] agent1Jan 20, 2002, 3:46pm
So just because someone posted a link to a webpage, the owner/author has to
maintain certain standards? If it was such a big problem and "kids" were actually going to Gamer's site just to follow that link, wouldn't the "children's" parents talk to their kids about it? Hopefully they don't give their kids free access to the Internet and then whine when something they don't like shows up. The Internet isn't a babysitter, so I don't know what the problem is. If someone has a link to some porn on their site, then that's their choice. -Agent1 [View Quote] sw chrisJan 20, 2002, 6:34pm
A webmaster ought to know what his audience is and serve content appropriate
to it. SW Chris [View Quote] agent1Jan 20, 2002, 10:49pm
Ever visited Oriox.com? I don't recall anything significant about AW being
there. His "audience" is certainly not "Ages 5-10" or something. It looks like it's more about him and his (real life) friends than AW. -Agent1 [View Quote] gamerJan 21, 2002, 2:05pm
you know I only just found that yousuck.com actually is an active
domain....oh well, oriox.com is soo tb e changed to OrioxMUS!C (currently in contruction at www.oriox.com/music/site.php?content=today) sorry for all who were offended... As for knowing my target audience...Oriox is mainly for me and my firends at school...the main page is rubbish anyway... -Gamer [View Quote] sunofsolarisFeb 28, 2002, 11:54pm
theft and murder are not down to values ?????
what are you on ? tell that to a cleptomaniac(how ever you spell it) or a serial killer. i think you need to think that one thru Rene ;) lots of love kris[SunOfSolaris] xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx [View Quote] robbieMar 2, 2002, 12:05pm
Enough on this topic already, lol...Oriox is a perfectly G Rated website
now. Lets get over the whole morals and issues debated spurred by a link placed in jest before I even knew where it went. -Robbie [View Quote] |
