Malware warning

[Jeepnik]

I have a yahoo email account I use for junk. Today if I open it my antivirus goes crazy blocking attacks from a long URL that starts 2 cows. Not sure if it was here or another site I will also notify, but it seems there is or was a member 2Cows. He could have been hacked. Just a friendly warning.

Did a search for 2cows, 2 cows, 2 Cows, and 2Cows and found zip. Another site maybe?

Thread '~ Your Internet Security ~'

Nov 2, 2025

Members dodged a bullet recently with a scammer. This is the second time in recent months a long time member was hacked and impersonated here …. and on other forums. Many thanks to the members who pressed the "Report" button.

Your help is needed to avoid such things. Here's what you can do and should know.

~ Change your password often
~ Do not use the same password on more than one site
~ Use more difficult passwords that include upper case, lower case, numbers and symbols
~ Be wary of payments methods like Venmo, Zelle, PP F&F, etc
~ Use caution if a seller wants to communicate outside...

Couldn't remember so I posted on several sites. Apparently what ever malware was trying to install is quite nasty.
