Request to all : Do not click on popup adds on your social networking sites like facebook ,twitter,etc.. not only social networking also when you visit any web sites...
There’s a new password-swiping virus spreading on Facebook, and once again the malware preys on the social trust accrued by the network.
Research says over 800,000 people have already been affected by the virus, which looks like a video sent by a friend. Once someone clicks on it, they are routed to a website that tells them they need to download a plug-in to watch the video.
And if they download the plug-in is when trouble starts. The download gives the malware creators access to a user’s password, often for email as well as Facebook and Twitter. This gives the attacker the ability to pretend to be their victim, potentially wringing more personal information out of their accounts. This is how the virus spreads; since the attackers have access to the infected accounts, they use those handles to reach out to other victims, spreading the video.
Be careful before you click on any disgusting video links. When you click the link if it asks you to download the plug-in or flash player etc to watch the video, immediately step back !!!
Inform your friends immediately if you see something bad is been posted by their account unknowingly...
and You have to stay smart about what you open and what you download....
Have a great Day...
