Eternidade Trojan — Because WhatsApp Wasn’t Shitty Enough Already

Well, what the absolute fuck. Brazil’s got itself a shiny new cyber plague called the “Eternidade” Trojan — because nothing screams “security fail” like trusting random crap on WhatsApp. This little digital bastard spreads itself faster than gossip in an open office. It’s using people’s WhatsApp accounts to *automatically* send infected messages to their contacts, which is basically like forcing your mom to forward malware instead of funny cat videos. Beautiful.

Once this digital turd gets into your device, it doesn’t just sit around quietly like a polite little virus — oh no. It installs itself, screws around with your system, and even deploys additional payloads from the “Eternidade Project,” a bunch of cybercrime entrepreneurs who’ve turned infostealers and ransomware into a goddamn subscription service. Yes, you can now rent your own malware like it’s Netflix for degenerates. Lovely times we live in.

The trojan’s been making a mess in Brazil, but let’s be honest — once this garbage starts flying, it’s only a matter of time before some genius abroad helps spread it further. The so-called “Eternidade group” behind this seem to think they’re running a startup, offering plug-and-play malware kits and ransomware as a service. Because clearly what the world needs is a SaaS model for cybercrime instead of better coffee machines.

So, let’s recap: if you’re dumb enough to click unknown WhatsApp links, congratulations — you just invited Satan’s software into your pocket. And those folks behind this evil art project are out there monetizing misery like proper tech bros. Absolutely fucking brilliant.

Moral of the story: stop trusting WhatsApp messages, stop clicking links, and maybe stop being a twit about “friend recommendations.” Because the next “update” you install might just steal your logins, piss in your data, and laugh while you reinstall Windows for the fifth bloody time.

Reminds me of the time a user told me their “PC was slow” and demanded I fix it — turned out they’d installed seventeen toolbars, opened every shady email attachment since 2004, and were shocked they’d caught something nasty. I wiped their drive “by accident.” Problem solved.
