I would just like to show you all a little bit of what happened in the chat room today...

We got a lame flood today in the wingtalk channel on webchat... Where customers can discuss anything they want about CyberWings..

Below is the flood:

<Guest3906> http://dwbridges.phpwebhosting.com/backup/laurie_duncan_with_a_horse/virus/
<Guest3906> http://dwbridges.phpwebhosting.com/backup/laurie_duncan_with_a_horse/virus/
<Guest3906> http://dwbridges.phpwebhosting.com/backup/laurie_duncan_with_a_horse/virus/
<Guest3906> http://dwbridges.phpwebhosting.com/backup/laurie_duncan_with_a_horse/virus/

Now we just thought that was some lamer, but by easily doing a whois we recognized that it was no other then the General Manager of CyberWings, Geek4Rent..

(wholine Guest3906 - address;) Geek4Rent@=XMhk868b52.maine.rr.com * Geek4Rent
(channels; #wingtalk)
(server; arena.webchat.org)

Just a thought, if they want to keep there customers, then they shouldnt be trying to have them infected with virii ;)

How foolish of them...

yeah I must say that's pretty pathetic. That and shawn's not-so-reputable history in the google cache. lol

Virii? Isn't it just plain old viruses? :D

real interesting; I always thought the correct form is "virii" too

A look at dictionary.com shows virii is NOT a real word.

intrestingly enough - for the first time ever i got an attempted send of a virus to me when i passed through the cyberwings irc channel earlier today, i didnt recognize the user names and should have done a whois but i just left since the chan was modded anyway (as it has been for a couple days now) and made sure nothing got to my machine..
would be surprised if they have a stooge in there doing it too :rolleyes:

Goes to show what I have said all along, these CW staff and stooges are not innocent and as in-the-dark as the hapless customers. Apabacas, Geek, and the rest are complicit with Shawn in this scam. They should be ashamed.

they should all be sued and/or arrested for perpetuating this fraud of a "company".

"Virii? Isn't it just plain old viruses? "
Virii is what the script kidies call it.

Virii is most commonly used when refering to more than one virus ( properly known as: Viruses ), though it may not be listed in the dictionary.

Yep, it's viruses.

An excerpt from dictionary.com (http://www.dictionary.com/doctor/faq/v/virus.html)

Q. What is the plural of virus?
A. Viruses.
It is not viri, or (which is worse) virii....



There is also an interesting discussion at http://www.perl.com/language/misc/virus.html

I always thought this too up until a few weeks ago when I stumbled on a lengthy article at http://www.perl.com/language/misc/virus.html and then later on the FAQ at dictionary.com.

Hi,

I wanted to note that we've removed the account in question below. Please let us know if there are any other problems.

Best Regards,

phpwebhosting.com Abuse Dept.

P.S. I also wanted to make it clear that we have nothing to do with "CyberWings" - we just received a notice that this account was abusing. I noticed the referrer link from here when checking things out so I thought I would post a reply here. Good day! :)

If Cyberwings personnel like Geek4Rent would attempt to infect Cyberwings customers, what might they do if we gave them the detailed information that they are requesting on the questionnaire - telephone number, postal address, email address, PayPal detailed information, etc.?

Is it safe to give them that information - especially if a person doesn't really think that it's going to do any good?

read all of the cyberwings posts on this forum and you'll see how obviously unsafe it is to get even close to involved with cyberwings.
