Facebook Malware Scam Spreading!

There is a new Facebook Scam rapidly spreading. A “Video” claiming to be “The funniest video in the world” is posted on your wall, but when you click on it to watch the video, you are redirected to a Phishing site, which is cleverly designed to look just like it is a part of Facebook, but will attempt to steal your Facebook login credentials. Results for users in the United Kingdom are a bit different than those who click from the U.S., but the end goal seems to be the same. This could be potentially serious. Please watch the video below for details.

As always, beware of what you click on, make sure you know who sent it to you, and always be wary of unknown Facebook apps. Is it really that critical that you “throw a pineapple” at someone or “Superpoke” them? Do you know what these apps are doing or accessing off your profile?
