TL;DR: There is very little information in this post apart from the advice to run a virus scan.

As part of an investigation into a news tip I cannot substantiate, I've heard claims that a DUST 514 player has used malicious software in an effort to gain control of the computer of another player to attack them for reasons pertaining to the metagame.

Despite my decision not to publish this story unless more evidence is uncovered, I feel a brief "Hey, everyone, do a virus scan" is never inappropriate anyway and in the event that the claim has some substance to it, people have been warned.

Hey, everyone, do a virus scan.

More here... but not much more.

Not related to dust at all, message your website users instead of posting in dust general discussion :P

Er, I don't have any website users. I just post stuff that's happening in DUST, like this. It's related to DUST because players in DUST are allegedly attempting to gain control of the computers/email of other players in DUST to effect changes in the DUST metagame.

They don't have a subforum for that.

I'm pretty sure they frown on misuse of the reporting functions but you're totally within your rights to do so and see what happens. I know you have no issues with being banned and returning, so we'll allow the little power trip you get from crusading about the forums to continue unhindered because it's not really significant enough to warrant any further action.

Trolling a simple warning thread is a bit silly, though.
