Heya everyone, I thought I posted this here last night, but apparently I didn't..

I regret to inform you that the Screen Shot Off The Record plugin that we linked to briefly was found to have a key logger and was sending screen shots to unwanted parties.

So if you have this plugin installed, you will want to remove it immediately.

You can see our official post about this at pidgin.im/posts/2024-08-malici

We are planning a more indepth post in the near future.

@pidgin The plugin seems to be GPL 3 and at https://github.com/jabberplugins/pidgin-screenshare? There are 2 DLLs in the repo though, libotr and zlib. So maybe the plugin is fine if you throw away those two files?

@pidgin You did post last night. I replied that ss-otr was an appropriate name - as it stands for Social Security On The Record in a US govt context.
