@kmaxkmax c:\users<your windows account name>....
-
Dont forget to make it visible in folder options!
-
for those looking for that directory just type in %appdata% and it should bring you right into appdata\roaming for your user profile.
-
IDK where to search
-
@Focus If we don't have that file does that mean we are safe?
-
@KyleH112 yup no file no problem
-
@tross How do you make it visible? Is in invisible?
-
Go to C:/Users/USER NAME
Click View > Hidden Items
Double Click AppData
In the search box type dclogs
If no file shows you are safe
-
I clicked everything and don't see anything. Hopefully I'm doing it right!

@Focus said in The SurfBar.:
Those who have the surfbar please check the following location for this file:
\AppData\Roaming\dclogs
Activate "Show hidden files" to find it.Could you please share this file in raw text on a pastebin, I want to see what these evil F'ers were doing! I might start a campaign to hack them back. On a side note I have been in conversation with Lexi today about a "real world" job. While the sky is often darkest when it rains when the sun peeks through only then can you see the rainbow.

I always said that surfbar was bad lol, told crow some time ago.
That surfbar looked really bad being published as an "official" way to earn burst while the advertisers had so many sites with viruses and rootkit attempts!@ChaChing had two computers dead because of that and since that day I always suggested people in the casino to stop using it.
I'm sad to see another victim of this surfbar, and happy to see that link finally removed from burstcoin.biz and the burst community.
@ChaChing this risky thing is finally over!

\AppData\Roaming\dclogs
I dont have the 'dclogs' folder, so then I am safe?
I removed the Surfbar link from my signature, and also removed it from my post in international forums section.

@IceBurst
Yeah.... you go after those shark hackers patrolling the surfbar -- when you find 'em, they owe me a Windows 10 Computer that they brutally attacked - nothin' left but a carcass.
-
Since I read this article I became also a bit paranoic. I do not use anymore any SMS 2FA, because it makes it easy for hackers to port your phone number via social engineering and then kick you out of your own email account :/ I also don't use mobile wallets, at least not for any considerable funds. There are people having several thousands in mobile wallets and it's just matter of time till those funds are gone...
Never give up security for financial incentives! In the near future hardware wallets are the only way to go...

Just one small comment here: @Zeus and @crowetic, I definitely get what you're both saying about the surfbar being "bad," as it introduced potential vulnerability to community members.
But I'd also like to add that things like this are what kept me motivated to progress my involvement with the chain early on. It seemed like it was sent by the gods (Zeus?) early in my journey here. The surfbar basically gave anyone with a data connection the ability to earn. The small but regular payments made it seem possible to actually be part of the Burst economy in a meaningful way, without much extra effort.
I only comment on this now because I would hate to see such ideas completely abandoned, it helps people stack some coin, at least in the beginning. And a decent amount too. An amount that would cost them a lot more money if they wanted to purchase HDDs and such. But anyway...
Hated by some, loved by many... R.I.P. Surfbar 2-9-2017

@ChaChing Let's plot a rehack attack... I could try to get there IP
-
@vExact yup... this SMS 2FA stuff is a big issue. What are your opinions on 2FAs such as Google Authenticator? - Mine is that this can be dangerous too if the person using it doesn't understand how to use the app, secure backup codes, etc.
-
@k.coins I think google authenticator is quite different and safer, as it doesn't have to do with your phone number (as far as I know) but rather with your google account. It also works if you are not connected to the internet, and as you know it changes every 30 seconds. Problem is if you have a piece of malware on your phone that has access to the camera and makes silents screanshots for the attacker, etc.
But again the most secure options are the ones you have a hardware device using an U2FA like this one

@vExact Then they will also need passphrase and 2fa and if they have malware on pc and phone rip more than just burst balance
