Roushk Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) *MOD EDIT*: Lets not give them exposure shall we? Assuming the download is Malware. Just FYI for anyone. Edited July 7, 2014 by Neowulf Quote
Neowulf Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Yeah. Domain lookup says it's a cheap amazon AWS hosted page with the owner hidden by an anonymity service in panama. Possibly malicious, but actually looks like a sad attempt to profit off open source software (which the launcher is) by automatically bundling it with tollbars in a windows installer. Quote
Neowulf Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 If the download contains malware then anyone can report them. But looking it over it looks like it's just a semi-legal scam. They don't overtly claim to be technic, just offer a download for open source software. The screenshot may look like an offical technic thing, but that's just a screenshot of the program working. And they do include contact info that is not here. They're doing a really good job at attempting to confuse people into thinking they're the official technic download without actually making that legal claim. Here's a relevant clip of the idea. Quote
miniboxer Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 It's packaged with some nasty adware. It's pretty bad and leaves a bad impression on those who don't know about technic. Quote
Doomzzday01 Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 What if that is the real technicpack website and this is the fake one? Quote
disconsented Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 What if that is the real technicpack website and this is the fake one? Then you would be a conspiracy nut job who didn't take the time to research the situation Quote
