Questionable edits
[edit]I've reverted quite a lot of peculiar stuff from this article, and semiprotected it for six months. I'm not sure what's going on here, but it looks "off" to me. -- The Anome (talk) 20:07, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
Re: Questionable edits
[edit]This does not seem to have been reverted far enough, there is an odd link in the references, and the 3rd paragraph seems to be mostly random information with citations that don't match what is written. I've encountered tech support scammers using this to add credibility to their claims. Request the article be unprotected so the malicious content can be removed.

The last paragraph of the first section ("SpayEye may be detected.... companies who works on ip address. malware") is factually wrong, not supported by the included references and poorly written. I would suggest to just remove it.
This was appearantly added by tech support scammers that use the article, and in particular this paragraph, to convince victims to purchase their fake services.
see https://isc.sans.edu/forums/diary/Wikipedia+Articles+as+part+of+Tech+Support+Scamming+Campaigns/24608/ for details regarding ths scam. Sansisc (talk) 01:39, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 21:36, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
Spyeye was first discovered in 2010 when it was found to have infected thousands of computers in Turkey. After it was discovered, the original source code for the malware was leaked online and began undergoing individual revisions, making the process of detecting it harder for the institutions. It is a highly modified version of the Zeus Trojan, which had a very similar attack method to obtain the same information. It can be used to setup a bad limit amount on people's account but it can be reduced with the help of some bad limit reducer cards, Refundable Security cards or Gift Cards(Offline Method) or can also be reduced by some online third party websites through fake transaction or dummy transaction such as Zelle, Amazon, Walmart, PayPal or Dundle and Cashapp(Online Method). The security cards providers should hold the license provided by the government of the United States in order to provide the securities to their customers. Amazon Inc. and Apple Inc. are the only Companies with the registered license for providing these securities so far. The tiny size of the virus makes it impossible for any Anti-Virus to detect or eliminate it hence resulting in the owner's unawareness of this virus on their devices and ultimately becoming vulnerable to Identity theft or compromising their financial information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.211.13.120 (talk) 17:23, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
