I find it quite alarming that R* never released an official statement or a warning to people who use the SC. maybe they will once they fixed it... maybe its to prevent people from worrying about their crews

You cant allow your network to become compromised and not tell your consumer base. Thats internet security 101. The fact that multiple people (although Im not one of them) both on this forum and on others outside of the SC have found malware on their computers as a direct result of clicking the links on that page is pretty concerning. I dont think they are trying to steal your account info but if they were you would want to know wouldnt you? Telling people after the malware has been there for what would be several days at least if they made a statement right this minute would be a little too late if that was their intent. I highly doubt that everyone on the SC went searching forums to find out what the deal was. With that in mind some sort of warning pop at the top of the screen is a necessity at the very least.

as seen by multiple people's virus scans and R*'s calmness to it... i think they know what they're dealing with... what? you think they're just some toddlers behind a pc? trust them...

No, I think there are toddlers behind PCs (your words) that dont know what they are doing unless a big red sign says stop. Amazon pulled the same shit when they got hacked and I didnt agree with it then either. I just think its common courtesy to let people know whats going on. Instead even if you email them they have a copy pasta generic message that everyone receives that tells you absolutely nothing about the situation with no mention whatsoever of malware just " we are aware of the problem and are looking into it". Thats my problem with the way R* is handling the situation. Knowledge is power and they are leaving their consumers out to dry in that regard.

You completely missed my point. What you said makes no sense in response to what I said. All I said originally was its alarming that they have made no announcement. Your file a complaint and deal with it mentality isnt going to help the situation and Ive already emailed R*. You tell me to blindly follow R*s lead as your brilliant advice but if it wasnt for this forum and others like the one linked pages ago many people(not me specifically, apparently this went over your head)would have no idea malware was on their computer. Moreover as someone who competed competitively for a long time security breaches on any site are of high concern to me. You may not have this problem but in my niche of the internet there are people who would love to have any and all info on players competing. Im not a Pro now but damn near every pro in the world on any game has played GTAV. This leads to DOXing and Swatting primarily. Issues that are very real and frankly if you havent experienced or known someone who has been DOX'd or swatted you are not qualified to tell me not to be paranoid. When you have experienced this or know someone who has had a 12 gauge pointed at their face while playing a videogame get back to me and let me know how paranoid I am.

Your hostile and condescending tone wasnt asked for... if you cant handle a simple discussion without attacking someone than this discussion is over

I still see the ad as of 10 mins ago and still no crew page. I'm looking into changing my antivirus now. I'm cautious about how I use this pc so I've always used a basic but well rated program and never had a whiff of a problem. After this I'm not chuffed. How long should it take R* to "Look into this"

Your hostile and condescending tone wasnt asked for... if you cant handle a simple discussion without attacking someone than this discussion is over Oh please you dont even bother to read what I wrote and have the nerve to call me paranoid. If you feel that post was condescending after your response then you just need to get out of your feelings and if you respond to someone maybe dont be condescending in the first place. Just because you dont like me and you are a mod doesnt give you free reign to make unintelligent comments about my posts in which you start calling people paranoid and act like your opinion is greater than someone else's experiences.. I didnt attack you, I attacked a comment that made no sense whatsoever. Get over it and make better posts.

It's working again for me, though I still wonder if other crews still have that or why it took so long for some people to get it or why people didn't get it at all.
