facebook clickjacking scam

Blogging Buzz - Hundreds of thousands of Facebook users have become victims of attacks 'clickjacking' latest. Clickjacking occurs when the Facebook user who usually see a link to a 'link' on Facebook that sounds funny or interesting and his friends a lot like (although engineering), and then clicking on the 'likes' (like the link).

When the user clicks the text makes' love ', he was taken to a blank page that only has text,' Click here to continue. " When it got here, facebookers not see the attack because it did not appear on the page, and wherever he / she clicks the attacks continue to occur - in this case as 'Facebook button hidden'.

When facebookers clicking on the page (profile) on the page, it turned out he had liked the site. "What was done by hackers is actually very sneaky," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at web security firm Sophos, in his blog, as quoted from the Silicon pages (06/03/2010).

"They have hidden an invisible button under your mouse, so no matter where you click on your Web site had been hijacked." Graham also expressed, that the scam currently do not have bad intentions but could easily be adapted to deliver a virus (malware) - that can infect your computer and cause damage to the system. And can make a phishing attack (stealing personal data)

Attacks like these can spread very, very quickly, said Graham. Viewed by the number of messages seen, thousands of Facebook users have been found to be victims because they can not possibly resist their favorite artists and link them to like the link, which apparently is just a trap.

"If you believe you may have been hit by this attack, and to see new activity on your news feed, immediately delete the entries associated with that link," said Graham.
