Facebook Application Send Out False Notifications!
Facebook users have once again been victimized by cybercriminals. Yet another rogue Facebook application posting notifications to user profiles that said:
(Name on my friend’s list) has just reported you to Facebook for violating our Terms of Service. – This is your official warning! – [Click here to find out why you were reported!] – Request Facebook look at what has happened and rule immediately.
The link in the Facebook notification led on to an application named f a c e b o o k – - closing down!!! which, when you click on it and it will install the apps, then proceed to spam all of the affected user’s (your) friends with the same message. It is likely with intention to harvest your personal information along the way.
Surely it’s about time that Facebook reviews its application hosting policy & user’s security!
