Facebook, The Scammer's Target

Facebook users targeted by scammers attack. They send out fake emails to users. It looks like the original email, as sent by facebook. A message containing the notification.

An email message was filled with the link. When the link is clicked, will take users to a malicious website. Websites using an iframe for malware attacks. This attack could make the computer user becomes overwhelmed. Such attacks are old patterns. But it is still common. Internet users should not easily believe in the link.

The next attack could be more difficult to detect. For example, through the application of smartphones. It could be that the application contains a trojan. But on what purpose?

Remote access, could be one goal. Imagine if the scammers managed to embed its application on your smartphones. Obviously dangerous. They can monitor what's in your gadget, maybe even steal your data there.

Be sure that you'd regularly update all the security systems you have. Scammers are always lurking.
