This person IMed me yesterday. I was gone at the time, so yeah.
But today, they messaged me about 10 minutes ago.

I would assume clicking the link is bad and in a not good way.

This be our dialogue:
kcattakcah (9:37:06 AM): http://list.hackerslab.org/pipermail/buglab/bin00002.bin
GiantHmstr (9:37:16 AM): Uh huh...ok.
kcattakcah (9:37:22 AM): ME!*
GiantHmstr (9:37:27 AM): yup.
/me Proceeds to Warn several times and then block them
that, ME! was again to that link he sent just a second earlier. Oh no, they almost had me thinking they might just be a hot 18yr old slut on a webcam.

Well, I didn't click it, or the other one...so I have no clue what it is...but basically anything that ends in something than mp3 or mpg I don't download...

So, are they the idiot for assuming that I'd click on thier page or am I the idiot for not clicking it? or am I the idiot for even replying? Are they the idiot for making something so blatantly stupid, or am I the idiot for assuming that it's just that shallow and have actually fallen into their trap? Are you the idiot for possibly going to that page out of curiocity, or am I the idiot for posting it here in the first place? Who's the idiot? I hope it's them.

What's your view, and have you gotten anything like this? heheh

Hey

Bin is a compressed file, usually used by cd�r and similar and often used together with a "cue" file. It shouldn�t be no problem to download that file since you have to extract the Bin to get the file and or files. I guess it probably contains some hacker programs or, hehe, maybe virus. Confused

Kind of crazy, I have also got tons of different free offers as they call them, to my e-mail. Always with an attachment, can�t never trust these files.

@Matthew: .bin files, coming along with .cue files, usually are cd-images and only contain the binary data which has to be burned on a cd. there's no compression.

but you're right, the file contains a virus!
here's what Norton Antivirus found: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/backdoor.trojan.html
