I must have missed Insane Minotaurs as the package didn't exist in the database anymore. I'll have to ask the SDN managers when this was removed and why to see what will happen with those. I'll let you know. Edit: I have retrieved the id's for this package. I don't know where this package was lost or removed, although I decided I would refund it as well straight away.

Dear community, As promised 3 days ago we would refund everyone who ever bought any of the Insane scripts. More information about this can be found in this thread: http://osbot.org/forum/topic/27268-5uck-malicious-content-report/ I said it would have been done in 2 days, unfortunately I found out the second day that the IP.Board Nexus system doesn't support mass refunds for packages. So today I had to write a little custom tool that would communicate with the database directly to do this job for us. I can happily announce that all customers have been refunded with store credit now. In total 634 purchases have been refunded. You can see your account credit by going http://osbot.org/forum/store/ and looking on the right hand or here http://osbot.org/forum/index.php?app=nexus&module=clients&section=payouts Edit: Apparently I missed out on the Insane Minotaurs refunds. I have refunded those as well. In total there were 41 refunds of those, so in total 675 refunds have been made. Yours sincerely, OSBot.org

We want to complete the OSBot 2 API with all the features and new techniques for hand in the OSBot 2 engine before we release. And of course we want to have OSBot 2 tested on multiple systems to make sure there are no hidden flaws that can only be spotted when ran on multiple different systems.

I will be handling the refunds as we speak. Edit: It will take a couple of hours to process every sale of each script developed by 5uck.

Please follow the instructions given in the announcement and you should be fine.

They were always checked, with the exception of 3 scripters and 5uck was added to that list when he received global mod.

The virus does hide elsewhere. The best way is to run a virus scan to help make sure that there are no remaining traces.

Everyone who has the script in their collection will get refunded. This means that you will get refunded as well.

This will be found by Kasperky, NOD32, Avast and a couple of other AV's.

Dear community, Earlier yesterday and today 5uck has spread malicious content through one of his scripts, the Insane Druids script, for a total amount of 12 hours. We removed access to the scripts immediately after finding out. Most of the scripts at OSBot need to be validated before they are updated, which means the contents of the code are inspected before approved to be sent to the users. In this case, 5uck was given a position with more responsibility and the contents of his script were allowed to be auto updated (due to his former rank of global moderator). This means his scripts didn't require staff approval. He has put malicious content in the Insane Druids script but luckily we caught up on this fast, thanks to one of our previous administrators Raflesia. We have disabled all his scripts for the time being in the SDN. We have taken action by contacting the hosting provider of the malicious application and asked for further action against the user who uploaded it. Furthermore, we are reverse engineering the application to tell you exactly what malicious practices are run by it. We are very touched by this. This was the reason why we had pre-approvals of script contents in the first place, something for the better of the community. It meant updates sometimes had to wait for a couple of days, but in the end a secure solution. We gave in to giving some people trust, giving them the ability to control updating of their own scripts. This trust has been broken today. But before I continue on this matter, I want to provide you (the users of the Insane Druids script) with some steps to get rid of this malicious content. Please note that you have only been infected if you ran the script yesterday or today. I also URGE you to change your passwords, but AFTER doing the next few steps and reading some information: Download the anti virus software called Kaspersky. Scan your computer, remove and/or quarantaine any infections found. By now you probably know what you are going to do. Restart your computer and come back to this thread. You have restarted your computer. Change your passwords now. You are done and safe again. 5uck has abused his privileges. He did this to get access and rob you from your private information. It has made us see that even though some developers we 'think' we trust can't be trusted. We have decided that we will take away any auto-update privileges from anyone (only 3 others had such privileges). We can say that only a hand full of people got infected and hope to have informed you well enough and stay safe. We will be refunding anyone who bought any of his scripts with account credit within the next 2 days. We are sorry for the inconvenience and hope we can satisfy the customers with this refund. Please note: the refunds will occur automatically, there is nothing you have to do for this to happen. It will take some time for IP.Board to process all the refunds though. 5uck has been banned and will not be associated with OSBot any longer. Sincerely, OSBot.org P.S. On a side note, there were some problems with the web server hosting the website in the last couple of hours. These issues have should be resolved. P.S.S. I accidentally typed Insane Fletcher but I meant Insane Druids, I fixed it in the post.

We are investigating the matter at the moment and have disabled the contents for the time being. We will get to the community soon with an announcement.

We are currently doing research to the matter. We will get back to the community with an announcement soon.

I'll have to do some research to find the source of this bug.

He has not been demoted. More information will follow soon.

The scripts in the SDN have been updated earlier today, about 8 or 9 hours ago.

People are free to go where they want to be and go multiple places at the same time. But only if you have no commitments and responsibilities elsewhere and have the same elsewhere. People from Apple don't work with Microsoft but can certainly use Microsoft's software or visit their stores.

Dear community, Over the past few days we have been targeted by a group of angry people. They are angry for many reasons, some of which have solid ground but they have taken it too far. They created a new community and a competitor bot, which is good. Competition keeps everyone sharp and we did never mind about competitors as long as they did not attack us directly, for example by creating a lot of spam on the forums with inappropriate content. Their community and bot is called Osbot FTW. Master Chief has, without communication, become an administrator on their community. Therefore he has been demoted and it's a decision I didn't like to make but had to. His place will hopefully be filled by a great staff member. One more shoutout to you I want to make and perhaps to Osbot FTW as well is that I'm really surprised by their behaviour. I don't see how being hostile towards another community to begin with is a good start. But maybe I'm not the one to judge. I do understand people have their discontent which the development team is to blame for. On the other hand, we can make up for this and we will certainly do so. If you have no commitments, you have the freedom to chose where to be. Be in one place, two places or more. But if you work with Apple, you can't work with Microsoft at the same time. Thanks for reading, OSBot.org

For the past 2 days there is nothing new as my focus has been on the BETA client and dealing with angry people from you know where.

Dear community, This release contains the actual fixes meant to be in v1.7.61. Sorry for the inconvenience of downloading a new client twice. Sincerely, OSBot.org

My bad, I made a little mistake. Give me a minute and I'll upload the patch.

I'll do some research, perhaps I made a small mistake.

Thanks for your useless comment.

Dear community, In this release the following fixes are included: Genie should activate properly again (didn't activate most of the time since last update) Rick Turpentine should activate properly again (didn't activate most of the time since last update) Drunken Dwarf should activate properly again (didn't activate most of the time since last update) Mysterious Old Man should activate properly again (didn't activate most of the time since last update) Dr Jekyll should activate properly again (didn't activate most of the time since last update) Security Guard should activate properly again (didn't activate most of the time since last update) Cap'n Hand should activate properly again (didn't activate most of the time since last update) Sandwich Lady should activate properly again (didn't activate most of the time since last update) Miles Giles and Niles should activate properly again (didn't activate most of the time since last update) Prison Pete is working properly again And a small change to the camera method, which its documentation can be found in the updated API here: http://osbot.org/api Download can be found here: http://www.osbot.org Sincerely, OSBot.org

Yes, this will be in effect with the release of OSBot 2.

With the recent ban wave this has definitely crossed my mind. I even have planned to start re analyze all random handlers to improve their behaviour to randomize how the events are solved and in a more human like way, as what you are suggesting is very believable like I said earlier on the other thread.
