New Type of Facebook Spam is Going Around – Don’t Click The Link!

on 2012, Blog •May 3rd•
Have you seen or received this Facebook spam in your email recently? DON'T CLICK THE LINK!  It is a new type of clever spam that is starting to go around based upon Facebook's popularity and people's interest on what other people are saying about them.  The "reactivate" link actually redirects you to "“girlsspringdresses.info”

It appears this virus is primarily geared toward Mac users.  Facebook advises to always check the URL in your browser to make sure it originates from http://facebook.com, and not a one-off domain.  More info can be found on Fast Company at http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/chris-dannen/techwatch/update-facebook-phishing-scam-continues

DO NOT CLICK ON ANY OF THE LINKS BELOW!
