Mega Turbo is a rogue antivirus application which has
been designed by hackers with two goals in mind. The first goal is to try and
infiltrate the e-mail accounts of its victim and the second is to try and con
you into buying the fake upgrade to the application which leads to the creation
of a false security alert screen. When you attempt to open the app, a fake
message will appear that states: "You are not authorized to run this
program/place". This fake message will appear at various locations on your
system, including the taskbar as well as the taskbar of your windows explorer
window.
After you get mega888 downloaded to your computer, it
will then proceed to perform a series of "hijacking" operations. This
means that instead of connecting to a genuine casino, it will connect to a
website impersonating that casino. You will then be asked to enter your login
id and password in order to access the online casino. Once you do this, it will
show you a list of online casinos to choose from. All of them claim to be the
best online casino in the world but the one you actually need to check out is
the one in the "list of online casinos" that's listed on the Mega
Turbo website. It is at this point in time that the real theft takes place, as
your details such as your name, address, credit card details, bank account
details and more will be gathered by the software.
At this point, it's highly unlikely that you would
know anything about the online casino games you were playing, or indeed how
they have been paid for. This means that you're completely at the mercy of this
criminal gang. They can obtain whatever cash they want from you and there's
virtually no way of tracing the money back to you. This is where Mega Turbo
comes in. By infecting your computer with a piece of malware called a
"malware virus", the hackers have been able to steal personal
information which includes your credit card details and any other payment you
have made to online casino games.
While the best online casino app available in
Malaysia, that is Mega Turbo, is not the only online casino game that is
infected. A large number of online casinos, most of which are based in
Malaysia, have their own versions of roulette, slot machines, blackjack,
baccarat and other casino games. In fact, there are hundreds of online casino
games in Malaysia which are run by these thieves.
The first step the thieves take is to install the
rogue software onto your computer. From there, the criminals can then use this
data to login to the online casino, change the gaming configurations and
transfer funds from their bank accounts. Once this is done, the thief can then
withdraw the winnings, usually using another service such as PayPal or
MoneyBooker.
This criminal activity has been going on for a few
years, but it only came to the attention of the World Wide Web when two members
of a Malaysia based gaming community were conducting a test on their bank
accounts to find out if their money was being used for online casino play. They
noticed that their testids had been changed into MegaBytes. When they contacted
the online casino about the discovery, the online casino said that their tests
had been stolen from their test accounts. When the members tried to access the
online casino's website, they were told that they could not proceed because the
online casino had detected that the members did in fact use MegaBytes to play
the game.
