Everyone,
I just became aware of the hacking/backdoor issue while reading the backlog.
I'm truly sorry for everyone who suffered loss of OPAL.
I have a long background (15+ years) in the IT security field, and as it happens it was only couple of days ago when I was thinking that some new trust based system is required to protect the crypto scene against hacking such as the one that just hit OPAL. I do have some ideas regarding this that I'd be happy to try out with the OPAL team.
I've also been in touch with the chief of research of the Finnish anti-malware company F-Secure, proposing co-operation and hoping that they will get interested in coming up with solutions that will help crypto users secure their assets.
Yours,
Jyri

Dude, the protection for crypto users or desktop users is the same and will be the same.... because we already got a solution about crypto users -_- people need to learn how to use their fire-wall and HIPS, only that.... we can't create a scanner able to detect all malwares, peoples need to use a manual solution for check their downloaded files: FW + HIPS (eventually sandboxie / VMware)
Now if you don't know how to use a fire-wall and HIPS, so keep using an Antivirus alone, but any kid can bypass it.
This is why i posted this solution this night (but nobody share it.... people think is better to share a antivirus link, but antivirus suck.. this is why you are infected)
For those who downloaded the malware:
Kill the process csrss.exe (the bigger)
then directly kill windchp.exe
after it delete the startup key Win DHCP "windchp.exe" (use msconfig with command-line)
and delete file here: C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\Windows\DCHP\ HERE IS MALWARES
You can also block this ip/port: 212.7.208.87:5604
So, it's useless to cry or rollback if nobody cares about my message, antivirus will do nothing for you about new malwares.
