Ask HN: I visited the same site Apple/FB employees were exploited through
Background: http://www.macrumors.com/2013/02/20/iphonedevsdk-details-what-led-to-apple-facebook-hacking/
Basically, what should I do to secure my system? What could have been comprimised? Java has been updated, I ran malware-bytes. Thanks
- suyash 14y agoWhat is the website?
- coryl 14y agoAs mentioned in the article, the site is iphonedevsdk.com, a popular forum for ios deveopers.
- cheald 14y agoIf you want to be really sure? Wipe and reinstall. If you want to be reasonably sure, run an actual AV, like Avira or Nod32, preferably from a boot disk if possible, since running AV against a system in which malware is already running and potentially set up to evade detection doesn't guarantee anything. Finally, to prevent future problems, turn off automatic plugin activation in your browser. In Chrome, go to chrome://settings/content and scroll down to Plugins, and select "click to play". This'll render you immune to drive-by Java and Flash exploits unless you explicitly activate the plugin instance that delivers the payload.
