[WSG] is this infection of Safari or FB page?

2011-03-16 Thread tee
Sorry about this post! I couldn't get any answer from anyone, any Mac user from 
the web community that I know of, and my enquiry to Apple as well as Facebook 
went silence too.

For those who have no Mac system, these are the videos I captured.

Warning! If you think your Mac system may get infected, please don't click on 
the links below. There are just two examples, there are many more pages like 
these related to sensitive info that CCP tries to block.

Background story (and one I strong suspecting):  it's the work of Chinese 
hackers hired by the CCP. There is another thing that you web developers should 
know too (and if you can, please spread the news), the Chinese Jasmine 
Revolution founders are all using iPad (very unwise of them to say it 
publicly), and the recent crackdown have been  targeting iPad user in a 
specific city/ 
Province. If you know how crazy this regime is to try to hold on the power, you 
would believe that billions of RMB likely have been gathered to develop viruses 
specifically targeting Mac, iPad and iPhone.

We're offtopic here and I don't think putting the question of 'are these 
links dangerous?' is anything this group is qualified to discuss.

(OK, maybe *you* are, but its certainly outside the group remit.)
Closed.
(Thanks for the prompt, Joseph)

Well, strictly speaking, it's not.  If you build websites and need to perform 
browser check, and you need to check on Safari,  it's  unwise not to be aware 
of such issue, which I am pretty sure, nobody in the English speaking world 
aware of.

As for dangerous, I am not fully sure about it, my warning is more a this is 
a porn site kind of warning IMHO. You can see from the youtube videos links of 
the behavior of infection to tell whether it's dangerous or not. I have 
visited ten of pages of such Facebook pages in the past few months, and symptom 
occurs in Safari only, in My Mac, iPad and iPhone Safari. I have run a system 
wide virus check on my Mac, unless the software is incapable of finding any 
thing or there is no infection.
