    Exclamation Current casino program hacking: luckycasinoslist.com

    Again thousands and thousands of websites are infected by a new hacking similar to verifiedcasinos.com, but this time the victims are hard to find in the Google search engines result pages.

    The hacking root used is luckycasinoslist.com - Look at the programs on the list!

    Don't forget the "s" after casino!

    In the coming days I will publish how the hack words, which Wordpress plugin will be used this time and how it can be fixed.

    I stay in contact with some German victims who are freed from the hack.

    On every victim page a javascript file (luckycasinoslist.com/boot.js) will be loaded.

    What's interesting about this is that if this is a different individual from verifiedcasinos they're using EXACTLY the same programs on the site. To me this looks like another operation set up by the same person/group.

    Or the programs listed are the path of least resistance in terms of what groups are more friendly to shady and unethical practices.

    That had occurred to me, but I don't think it's likely. That a second individual - with a clean sheet - wouldn't try ANY program that VC either hasn't tried working with or has been booted from already seems too coincidental to me.

    No matches?

    Here is an example of a victim.

    bensen-physio.de

    Mr. and Mrs. Bensen are physiotherapist in Germany.
    They have nothing to do with gambling.

    But now enter in your Google search box:

    site:bensen-physio.de casino

    This is what is coming on your screen: https://tinyurl.com/omv8sf6

    Click on any infected link. You see the luckycasinoslist content. Go to the left upper corner and click right for source code. You will find among others the following code:

    Code:
    <script type='text/javascript' src='https://luckycasinoslist.com/boot.js'></script>
    Now an example of a freed victim. I contacted the IT-Administrator. So we could stop the hack:

    hdr.de

    A care facility for old people!

    Harry up, because of Google updated results.

    Enter

    site:hdr.de casino

    This is what is coming on your screen: https://tinyurl.com/mfbobwj

    Click on any link! The site is freed now!

    Only two examples of thousands. Check your country.

    The hacker don't stop for old or ill people. He don't stop for school websites, also not for children. This criminal don't stop for people, who take care about other people with their medical education.

    What do you think, dear casino affiliate program?
    Yes you ... waving with a nice banner on the list!

    Is it a great reputation to work with a criminal, who is abusing children, old and ill people and their helpers?
    Is this the new brand slogan you are searching for?
    This new program logo can be yours shortly ===>

    Do you want that?
    Do you want to suffer the same fate as the "good guys" from AffEurope?
    This time ... no excuses ... no patience and no mercy.
    Of course, you can decide what you prefer.
    To be serious or to be the last dirt on Earth.
    But this time don't take too much time for your decision ... for earning some final bucks ... dirty bucks.

    ---

    How the hack works?
    That will be the story of another post.

    Which critical security vulnerability is the open door for the hacker?

    The verifiedcasinos hack utilized a weakness of the Wordpress plugin Akismet, the same weakness the well known "Pharma-Hack" have based on in the past.

    The new
    luckycasinoslist.com hack utilize the following plugin:

    Events Calendar Pro

    Everyone should deactivate and delete this plugin immediately, also Akismet to prevent the verifiedcasinos hack. If you don't receive hundreds of comments every day, no one need Akismet in real life. It's only a
    decorative but dangerous accessory.


    You are a victim?

    If your Wordpress Blog is infected, then you will find in the folder wp-content/upgrade/ a file with the name client.php. It's an encoded file, but in the decoded version are Russian fragments into it. Delete this file. But that's not enough. Check your .htaccess file. You will find 3 or 4 lines of strange code, that does not came from your hand. This code will be the engine for the malicious client.php. You can change or check your .htaccess file with the "WP Htaccess Editor" plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-htaccess-editor/).

    A) Deactivate and delete "Events Calender Pro" Wordpress plugin.
    B) Delete client.php file in
    wp-content/upgrade/ folder.
    C) Make a backup of your .htaccess file.
    D) Delete all new additional code lines in your .htaccess file, everything, that is targeted to client.php.
    E) If your Wordpress is still working, then delete the .htaccess backup.
    F) Deactivate and delete "Akisment" Wordpress plugin.
    G) Delete all themes and plugins not beeing used to
    increase the chances of surviving the next hack.

    After these steps all casinos sites on your Wordpress should be gone and you can use your computer in a familiar and pleasant atmosphere without worries about your website.


    I try to publish the encoded and decoded version of client.php the next days.

    Leopold

    Winner Casino on top position for visitors from Germany, UK and Sweden!

    Winner Casino = Winner Affiliates = GPWA Platinum (!) sponsor

    If the GPWA PLATINUM sponsorship is a free ticket to do everything -legal or not- and the GPWA seal only a Fata Morgana, then Winner Affiliates have to do nothing regarding my call to action.

    If the seal is worth the word and Winner Affiliates a serious program, then the deadline I gave them should not be exceeded:

    ===> https://www.dietistaktuellt.com/forum/winner-af...tml#post776383

    A GPWA sponsor is is obliged to read in the program area and to reply to issues.

    Or perhaps not?

    money is more important than reputation to them (Winner / GPWA)

    expect nothing will change as all is monetized

    the GPWA code of conduct is a guide line but not mandatory for programs so it seems

    Hey friends - Roulette Zeitung - special thanks for that helpful post, since you provided us with the btag links of that affiliate we managed to locate this affiliate btag, hiding as sub affiliate of some master account. BestPay Partners closed that related affiliate account with immediate effect since we from BestPay Partners don't provide ground for affiliates/partners with a negative impact on our industry.

    ===========
    Make sure you have a look at our Newsletter section for latest updates from BestPay Partners in 2015:

    Looking forward to see you all at London LAC very soon.

    Best, John

    "BestPay Partners closed that related affiliate account with immediate effect since we from BestPay Partners don't provide ground for affiliates/partners with a negative impact on our industry."

    Dear reader,

    you see? Acting as a real model -as John did- is as easy as opening a full saliva producing jam jar.

    ---

    "I have now contacted everyone on the list Leopold posted."

    Thank you so much Anthony. As a little present, I have a very interesting information for you. Some cases are really exciting, and I love to find the important details. It's my passion.

    AffPower is also on the list. That should not be a surprising event, because some people don't stop at nothing. In this case not only children, old and ill people will be abused. No, also GPWA!

    AffPower -Thank heaven!- is no longer sponsor of GPWA. So they are not allowed to use the GPWA seal on any (!) sites of their brands.

    Right?

    If you look at the normal brand sites, then you will not see your seal. But this case brings the daylight. AffPower is still using your seal to promote some special pages, not created for the normal visitor, who is only checking the root domain content like you would do that.

    You need proof?

    Here is the screenshot of the content from AffPowers Osiris Casino, the content from the criminal list, loaded by the affiliate link:

    affiliates.affpower.com/processing/clickthrgh.asp?btag=a_3938b_1614&aid=



    Now scroll down to the button and little bit to the right.



    Convinced?

    And now let us celebrate together the grand final of AffPower!

    Sir, my need is sore.
    Spirits that I've cited
    My commands ignore.


    (From "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" by famous German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)

    Search in Google for "affpower"!



    This will be your result:



    "This site may be hacked"

    I would also point out that as this is Osiris, which is pretty much hot off the press, this hasn't been an accidental leftover from the days they were authorised to use the seal.

    Hi guys,

    I'm not sure if this is the same guy or not but I found this page today:

    xxx.asaub.edu.bd/?kbfjijyfqp=scandinavia/automater-p-nett.php which is a Bangladesh University.

    The affiliate programs seem to be similar as to ones Leopold mentioned.
