Posting malware source URLs:Please no clickable live links!
Please code wrap any malware links to deactivate live linking and prevent accidental file download initiation.There is no need to break the URL address anymore than code wrapping.
CODE
http://somemalwareURL.com/example.exe
Malware URLs frequently die quickly, so quickly that we don't always get there in time to capture the sample .
Whenever possible please include both the source URL and attach the zipped malware sample to your topic.
Once a topic is locked this is an indication that i now have the target file(s) on my computer and it is awaiting analysis .
As a guide i aim to have new signatures if they are required live in the database in 1-3 hours on average.
If you are reporting a website/URL as suspect please supply information as to why you feel it needs inspecting.
Please keep all samples restricted to current malwares seen in the wild.
We do not want to be processing any VX colections or malware that has not seen the light of day since 1999
I would like to take this opportunity to thank in advance any contributors here on behalf of the whole team @ MBAM
