Do not click PNG links or JPEG

[EndZiiel]

If some random adds you with 1 game in their inventory and sends you a PNG link or some kind of link DONT CLICK IT!!. Dont be so F***ing stupid!.

It doesnt open a picture it opens a downloadable file and for any moron that actually downloads it, congrats you now have a keylogger in your PC and will most likely lose your inventory in 24 hours.

Also if your friend sends you that link and he says he didnt even send it THEN DONT CLICK IT!. They have a auto send ♥♥♥ thing that once your friend downloads it, it sends through all his friends.

Just morons with no life that want to steal from hardworking more fortunate people with money or they are just still mad they live in a 3 world country.

I wasn't aware that .png or .jp(e)g files were capable of running executable code...

i have clicked the link but norton ♥♥♥♥♥♥ them

Iv clicked it the first time my friend sent it but i didn't download it because yeah, Its kinda strange that instead of just showing a URL picture it wants you to download it.

Luckily my friend told me he didnt even know he sent it then i knew what it was.

Iv got around 30 friend requests in the last few days from these morons, Nearly all of them with 1 free game in their account. Accepted 2 because of their 10 year badge but as soon as i accepted they sent me a PNG link

You can compress a keylogger into a picture/folder or anything really with programs like winzip.
Most advanced keyloggers people download are being watched by admins anyway and can backfire on the keylogger user.

It's a traced link that traces a ip, then activates a auto download direct onto someones pc for them to then keylog every key pressed on your keyboard, such as passwords, and even valued data of your bank details can be traced.

Never take any action upon clicking any random link, only click on links that are very trusted ones which have https and are fully correct on the domain.

Even if you click it it will download a .scr file that you don't have to double click it, because

.SCR ≠ .PNG or .JPEG, so it is pretty obvious it is a phishing attempt.

Learn a thing or two about computers and their files, they are not tablets or iphones.

Images and screensavers are some of, if not, the oldest malware vectors. This is nothing new and works today on the same people it always worked on: stupid ones.

they are not capable of executing code, the last exploit with those files was on internet explorer 10 years ago. but webservers are capable of redirecting you to something else, just a matter of configuring stuff.

so server.com/screenshot.png will direct you to {LINK REMOVED}server.com/badfile.scr

in normal cases this will just start a download but that is already enough for some people to fall for.
