You’re right Jonathan, and I apologize to you and rick for saying this discussion wasn’t helpful (just had a hard day was my only excuse).
I will start signing all my apps from now on. It would be helpful if eventually, when things settle down, if support from GW/AI could publish instructions on the best way to do this. Perhaps they could even tie our certificates to our app developer accounts (have us upload them to our developer accounts)? Chip From: Jonathan C.

Also, WE does not enable scripts when in admin type mode so the os is fairly safe. It does not hurt to questions about the new paths of vulnerability. But it is nt as easy to break modern operating systems as TV depicts, unless a breach was already there. so as app developers should we get signing certificates to help keep fraudulent apps. es Sent from my iPhone On Jan 17, 2015, at 1:47 PM, Chip Orange <lists3...@comcast.net> wrote: There is no special reason to think any scripter’s account on the GW web site could be hacked? Why would you think that? It takes a login ID and a password; the exact same thing my online bank requires for me to login. Your posts aren’t helping prevent future incidents, so much as promoting “scare tactics” specificly against GW apps, and so I’d ask you to consider before you post any more.

You are a scriptor. How easy would it be to create a vb script and then post some update to another persons script using phoney names and all that jazz? I am thinking it would be pretty easy but don’t know. The dude who hacked members machines like this could have deleted the hard drive or otherwise trashed peoples machines. It was lucky that person didn’t hack the Bible Peoples machines via an update to that script and trashed them. Since you have done some scripting I am wondering what safe guards are in place to ensure scripts come from the original author and if GW verifies this type of information.

I got a tool kit update this morning. Then discovered a message which states, "Greeting From The Islamic State" There is more to that, but it ended with, "Please Contact GW Micro" So, what is going on now?
