Is username.is-thatt-you.com via MSN virus?

I had been receiving this comment from OFFLINE MSN messages that a single link with my user name and append with is-thatt-you.com behind.

I searched through the goggle and cannot find any details on this domain and quite curious about this message.

It’s obviously sent to me by my friend’s msn without them being online hence very likely to be a virus.

I had clicked once and request me to login using MSN username and password which I did not do it fortunately.

The problem might be they had been hit by the same message and login unknowingly and was infected.

So be very careful when you click on such links.

    Hello,

    same thing here. I have received this message this morning. Apparently from a friend. And right, he has received this message, and he has logged in. :-(

    The url I have received was like http://username.is-dat-u.com/, and for my friend, it was like yours.

    Another friend has received also the same message…

    So, be carefull… Don’t give your user/pass to a web site.

    I found this site aggravating aswell as many of my female msn contacts are quite.. gullible. IF YOU READ what the site says it explains everything, even though what they are doing is against the msn EULA.

    Hey guys, I think if you tell your friend(s) to simply change their msn/hotmail password, everything should be fixed :)

  • Amelie

    We got it also, a co worker, here in United States, California

    the link was: http://support.is-thatt-you.com/

    i called her over to take a look, and she said she did not send it.. looks like she got hacked. :(

    BEWARE!

    Here’s a screen cap of the site:

    It’s spreading quickly, in the UK too. Told my friend to change his password and not be careless with his details.

    As the site said to log on I assume it’s only abusing the credentials it gains, and is not actually installing itself (or whatever) on people’s computers, my point being that I assume that by just changing your password you fix all the problems, and there’s no greater problem, can anyone confirm this?

    me too guys, I got the same problem few minutes ago!actually I’m in italy…it’s a chain that grows minute by minute ..fuck!..My advise is too install CCcleaner and make a deep analyse of cookies…sometimes these kind of virus are recognised as a normal cookie, but CCcleaner can delete them..

    username.is-that-you.com

    I was hit with 14 hours ago then with
    username.is-thatt-you.com

    Once again the user can not remember clicking on such a link, for this site to access address book and send off messages.

    this is the Only site that has any at all info of this issue.


    I created a post on microsft.com/technet in hopes of an answer

    I got one too. It came from my boss IM and was first intrigued since maybe my boss was fooling around or something.

    I tried to click the link out of curiosity but the page seems to load really slow until it got forwarded to our site intranet. Which means its an illegal site so lucky me.

    I also checked the microsoft link provided by one who comment here but it seems that msn support are slow in giving feedback. I would suggest (to tommynz1975) to make a link here since there is a screenshot posted about the problem.

  • kaon
    I just got one today too.
  • Patricia
    I’m in Brazil. I think I was using a macbook when I’ve received that link too. But, the link has been spreading, even with my msn turn off.

    Thanks for that info tommynz1975. Already read that site before it was posted on your thread (the one on MS forum).

    I was anticipating a word of response from the MS tech team itself but there is none so far. Guess they are really slow on their end lol.

    Well the best way would be not to use that phishing site at all so a word of warning to everyone else. Lets just hope this one spam/scam/whatever will be dealt with immediately.

    Just to add something, I’m in Brasil and yesterday, aug 4th, I received this offline message via SKYPE, from a friend who lives in Spain. Today I received another link: “username.myfriendsz.com” from the same friend and source. Then I came to google to check it out…
