Where do chinese sites get all those NOD32 usernames from?

This has been puzzling me for years and I thought I'd ask around.

There are lots of chinese sites (goodm***.cn especially), that have 20-30 fresh passwords everyday.

NOD32 blocks browser access to that site, but how come they can't stop the "leak"? How do those passwords end up there?

It's been a mystery for me for a long time now, I hope someone can shed a light on it!

Thanx

 

You mean cracked passwords?

 

They work, they're stolen from somewhere.

They are in ESET's database and work.

 

That's the question that has always interested me...
The eternal struggle between good and evil.
I would also like to know the answer to this.

 

Well I certainly don't know BUT your posts reminded me to add the users id and the psw to my id block list in my firewall product. Not perfect but better than doing nothing.


BTW where is the data to support the claim that this is happening? I'm not saying you guys are wrong but anybody can post anything here on a public forum.

 

Your post makes no sense. What do you mean?

 

Generated, stolen keys. There's loads of these sites around and you would have to turn off nod before going to the links as they are blocked by eset usually. The trouble with this sort of thing is the keys get blacklisted very quickly or used by someone else and the perpetrator will have to then go off looking for new keys sometimes every few days to every couple weeks.

It would be much better to...but that's a different story.

At the end of the day it still boils down to theft.

 

If a particular license is disclosed, there are mechanisms for distributors to learn about that and act accordingly. Having said that, we'll bring this thread to a close.
