To Dr Bizarro and whoever may be interested (Porngraph warning)

digifan · 2004-04-27, 11:28 PM

The new owner of porngraph, known as Hooper changed the counter code and now it installs a trojan and a toolbar alled Isearch.. when wms realized it lately, the porngraph forum was pulled down asap and they did not comment it at all. The whois still points to the name oif the previous owner but new ownership took place on April 16 so it takes time to change all the info.

This is the name of it:
Exploit-MhtRedir.gen

Sorry for being the bearer of bad news but it's time to go back to sextracker.

Krawl.com, pichunter and their other sites banned the counter asap so submitters should remove it asap from their galleries, sites, etc.

PS
MacAffee warns the surfer but cannot stop installs.

digifan · 2004-04-27, 11:37 PM

These sites still have the counter on their pages:
http://porngraph.com/toplist.php

backoffbitch · 2004-04-28, 01:51 AM

Real sketchy operations going on over there. I never was comfortable with their product 100% even before they sold it. Now I am terrified to login to them haha. The one time I made statements about the usefulness of their product I was flamed so I never bothered to get more into it.

I had a feeling that something funky would be happening when they asked us all to change link codes. I was tempted to tell em to go fuck themselves and install an internal traffic counter but got caught up in my employer's work. I am glad I never changed the code to the new trojan one. Looks like I will be deleting their shit tonight and adding the word "porngraph" to my word filter in my tgp as well

digifan · 2004-04-28, 02:48 AM

It was funny when the forum went down after someone posted this on gfy... and we were hoping thing may improve... oh well.

I was checking the top list and lots of tgp.s disappeared like Pichunter, PK, Shemp and others as well.

But just got an email from another tgp big dog whom I tried to warn and he told me his surfers would let him know asap but he had no negative feedback so far. Confusing.

thrillho · 2004-04-28, 03:42 AM

thanks for the heads up--went poking around on other boards for further info, and the concensus seems to be that some, though, apparently, not all, foriegn ie. non-u.s. surfers are the recipients of these unrequested bonus installations.

fortunately, my laziness has finally served the positive purpose that i knew must be lurking in there somewhere--only put porngraph on ten or twelve sites before i said "paycounter's easier" and got another account with them.

Dr Bizzaro · 2004-04-28, 06:53 AM

Yeah, I was told about it yesterday morning. The person who told me wasent 100% sure, but after looking around for more info, I didn't want to take any chances.
I pulled it in the early afternoon. I still need to get it off a few other sites.

Fucking dumb-asses. I knew something like this would happen.

DraX · 2004-04-28, 09:33 AM

Thats alot of webmasters still using them, take em down people

Bratt · 2004-04-28, 11:23 AM

Thanks for the heads up, I pulled all mine and am uploading changed pages now =) Thanks again
No need to take chances. Just have to find another counter now

Cleo · 2004-04-28, 11:35 AM

I never used this counter and as of about six months ago I stopped using all counters. I now just use my server stats, it really is all in there.

I've been thinking of doing a server find and replace on the counter code that I did use, PayCounter, and removing it from all my pages. THe only reason that I haven't is I'm afraid of getting my pages pulled by TGP scripts for doing this.

This is a fucking mess…

digifan · 2004-04-28, 01:34 PM

I need a counter because my server stats are disabled.. but looks like only sextracker or xxxcounter are my choices..
And sorry for the typos, I was removing the codes at the same time.

bobbiekey · 2004-04-28, 02:07 PM

Woah! Thanks for the head's up on this situation. Pulling mine ASAP!

digifan · 2004-04-28, 03:05 PM

I should have chosen a better and on topic subject like Porngraph warning or something like that.. I am hopeful the mods can help me with this.

me too! ... just, find/replace fucked up something so I've had to change them manualy... not much aobut 50-70 galleries

good thing is that I never got used to them and after those "few" gallys I went back on to paycounter...

4Pics · 2004-04-28, 06:41 PM

Hooper posted on jbm that he does not own porngraph.

gecko · 2004-04-28, 06:58 PM

yeah he did

funny how it was after bradshaw spoke up and said 'so what hooper bought porngraph and now hes getting 60 million installs'

oooops

digifan · 2004-04-28, 09:55 PM

The new owner is Westend Marketing.. it is not that complicated to find them.. the guys at gfy did it btw.

digifan · 2004-05-01, 02:06 PM

The toplist disappeared with the forum... but these guys made some serious money with their 14 million uniques per day.
I'm still wondering which counter was mentioned in the newsletter btw.
