Online traps haunt users. The last one concerns Facebook and Messenger. For this reason we must pay attention to this message.
The online world not only offers safety and positive aspects. There are tons of traps that you need to watch out for. Any move can be costly and have very unpleasant consequences. For example, certain scams increased dramatically over the Christmas period. That’s why you must always keep your guard up so as not to be in danger.
Other types of danger, however, concern our data and those of our accounts. L’ENISA has in fact disclosed alarming numbers. Over the last two years cases of theft of this information have increased. The curve also rises when it comes to viruses, spyware and products of this type.
Naturally, staying at home has increased these attempts. One of the latest mechanisms concerns the most used social network, Facebook. Not only him but also his chat, Messenger. A message to pay attention to in order not to have negative consequences. Let’s go and see together what it is.
WhatsApp is scam alert: pay attention to this message
Facebook: the Messenger message to watch out for
As we understand, even very large companies can be surprised by these attempts. The message that might happen to you is about some sort of video with, in addition, a message “it’s you in the video“. All with a link to a YouTube video. The message, however, does not necessarily have to be “it’s you in the video” but a “looks like you“,”this video is yours” And “it’s you“.
It is a malware who manages to understand and adapt to the geographical position. For this reason, once clicked, the various contacts and friends could be contacted with this message. The consequences can be worse if the user enters their personal data. So, clicking not only activates some sort of chain but yes they can lose our data.
Facebook, beware of ads: they could cost us very dearly
In case of clicking on the video, the first operation is to contact all contacts. The second step is change password account. So as not to allow cybercriminals to pollute our profile. To eliminate the virus, then, you have to scan our computer via antivirus. So to see if there is any damage or other malware installed.
