Hacking systems by Offering 300$ .. (cAse study) ..!!

After many months of research and hardwork I didn't found anything intresting to write on, I finally decided to quit to click on "CREATE NEW POST" on my Blogger Dashboard..!!

But one intresting thing happened with me , which I thought that I should share with you people..

Scrolling my News Feed on facebook , I founded a link like "http://TheWeeklyJob.com/?id=24130
"
, Eager to know about the weekly job , I clicked the link and was redirected to official website "http://TheWeeklyJob.com" , where I was asked to sign up with my original details..

I am in this field for past 7 months , so never ever fill your right details in such mailcious websites , and I did the same.!! I mean everybody has a ..


So when i registered for the account on website , i was given 25$ as "bonus gift"(but not accessible)..:p

so 1st stage cleared..Sign Up complete ..
Now i have a account with 25$ in it which i can redeem only when I can make those 25$ to 300$ by begging my friends to click on a link which they provided me ..and every unique click added 10$ to my initial amount...i.e 25$+10$+10$..and so on ...


 Curosity to earn money was eating me up..so I sended that Dollars earning link to those 444 friends on facebook(I hardly know 100) , but , however , I was able to make 300$ in 1hr...!!


Now It was time to "redeem" my money..by clicking on "redeem my amount " link..
But It was not that easy.. As I thought , as soon as i clicked  , i was redirected to "Standard Charted bank's official webiste", just to gain my "trust" that whatever is going on , is right...!!

I filled the form to get a credit card from that bank...u knoe "CURIOSITY" :p..

After another tab opened and i was redirected to  a page that asked me to "Download" a '.exe' file of some "f**king software", which i will don't need in my entire life ..!!

After 3 Seconds from download , my AVG Antivirus(yes, i use it) showed me this kind of something-
 
  I understood what they were actually trying  to do...Now what we learnt...
1. At 1st stage , redirecting to "a good bank's website to gain trust"..
2. At 2nd stage , asking you to download "trojan".. Once you install it , " system hacked "...!! 

I think they should have used good crypters which also included digital signatures of AVG-Antiviruse....Well my system was not hacked.. !!

Stay alert and get this thing in your mind "I mean who gives you 300$ for free...troll"..!!


Guys , this is "Cyber Crime /Cyber Fraud" , whatever you say..!!
 
Stay Smart...Act Smart..!!!
