Any confirmation/disproval of the same exploit being used at ffxiah or not?

For what it's worth, I noticed that the infected site started having links to various botting programs show up in the comment threads on the various item pages. I looked up several fish to determine what I could cook with them, and every single one had a message relating to where I could download some great new fishbot, or something of that sort.

Erm, no. That is checking the windows version (nt 5.1 = winxp).Originally Posted by Airenn
If you're not running IE6 or 7 the script ends before it even gets to that line.
I was using somepage yesterday on my PC with Internet explorer >< thankfully my PC is clean, I have no idea why I didnt get the crap downloaded to my PC too although I do not have Real player, never have never will hate it with a vengence. My PC is fully updated, Vista with IE7 and I do have a hosts file thats about 700 lines long redirecting virtually every ad server to 127.0.0.1 but still I think I got off lightly. Good luck to any of you that are having problems I hope you all get it sorted out properly.
To Paul, does what Paegan said above limit it to Windows XP users?
XP and 2000 and some server versions. Vista is safe (from this particular script).
5.0 = Windows 2000
5.1 = Windows XP
5.2 = Windows Server 2003
6.0 = Windows Vista
That explains it thank you, I was just looking for the code that was posted to look to see what versions of windows were vulnerable, I guess for once I am happy with Vista.Originally Posted by Paegan
So this makes what, 2 reasons to have Vista now? This exploit and the issues with Eve Online's latest patch.Originally Posted by Paulisdead
It's not that Vista doesn't have vulnerabilities, its just that its as incompatible with those viruses as it is with everything else.Originally Posted by Xanthe
Now that is a selling point they should advertise!
It's good to see that some GMs are taking this matter seriously.Originally Posted by Tearshang
What really struck me as odd as the people who created the post. about is somepage.com still updated/alive right before this thing blew up in everyones face.

I know this thread made me goto somepage.com just to look around. Luckily from a work computer w/o FFXI.
This seemed to DRAW a WHOLE bunch of attention right to this site as this exploit came about. Now I am certaintly not pointing any fingers, but I thought this post was very random and weird, not to mention its timing is now MORE than suspicious.
Too little too late Vista, too little too late.Originally Posted by Paulisdead
Thanks Taj and BG for making this a sticky. Hopefully SE will make an attempt to make accounts tougher to steal.
Taj, have you considered write a script to infect RmT? Maybe steal there accounts and npc everything they have? Lol.

You have no reason to be suspicious. Kuno was saying the same thing on vent as to how he made that post and then all of a sudden there is crap there. But keep in mind that it has been on some page for awhile now. Believe it was mentioned that it's been there for 2-3 months now? (correct me if I'm wrong) Also supposedly on IRC it was mentioned there is a post somewhere about who the perpatraitor is?Originally Posted by Toralin
I think Taj is under a shenanigans prohibition on pain of modzilla.Originally Posted by vagus
For the record I use Firefox and run both ABP and NoScript, but still found the nasty little bugger in my registry. I had to search by hand, too - AVG, Ad-Aware and SpyBot did nothing. And I haven't been to Somepage in months.
So just because you've taken most precautions doesn't mean you're safe. Go the extra mile and make sure.
