worldwide attention that its story was made into a book and then a
movie. Today there are over 600 million people registered on Facebook.
Its popularity has not only attracted revenue in billions but also
hackers and spammers in a mind boggling level. Today I have decided
to tell you about viruses in Facebook after seeing the status update
of my friend Tome who warned me about dangers in facebook.
1. The spam messages usually come as messages from trusted friends
packaged in attractive covering. An example was "see the status update
of the girl which got her expelled from school". Such messages do come
from friends who have fallen for the bait. In the above case it leads
you to download a virus infected file.
2. The recent one is related to the infamous bin laden. See video of
laden being captured or shot are the messages which come to you. In
this case clicking the message will cause all your friends to receive
the same message. You will be led to video but once you try to see
that you will asked to complete a survey. You complete the survey but
do not get anything at all at the end.
3. Dad catches two daughters trying to make a video in their worst
moment, if this has come to your profile better be wary of it.
Clicking on the links would land you on a page with two semi nude
girls. Trying to watch the video would send the same message to all
your friends and ask you to download the latest version of adobe which
is in reality a virus.
4. Wanna see how many people visit your facebook profile. Wanna know
your top profile stalkers. Then be prepared to get another virus. This
virus had come to even my inbox. Clicking on the links would spam all
your friends and put your account information in danger.
5. Want to see the new facebook page. Click on the link and forget
your profile forever. Your information will safely land in the hands
of hackers and this is the latest one doing the rounds.
