Su Pinterest c’è di tutto, anche lo spam

Spread the love

Era solo questione di tempo prima che lo spam facesse la sua comparsa su Pinterest, il nuovo social network “image based” che in breve tempo ha conquistato anche gli italiani. Ma per il momento possiamo stare tranquilli, perché l’attacco spam sembra essere finalizzato solo agli utenti degli Stati Uniti. Ma se dovesse fare la sua comparsa anche qui da noi, consoliamoci col fatto che lo spam di Pinterest è facile da individuare e, di conseguenza, da evitare.

Il meccanismo ricalca l’inganno delle “gift card” già visto su Facebook: coupon omaggio e buoni sconto per gli utenti Pinterest che cliccheranno sul link indicato. Ma trattandosi di Pinterest, stavolta si tratta di un “image link”, cioè un’immagine che – se cliccata – reindirizza a siti poco affidabili.

La novità della truffa si limita a questo: immagini al posto di link testuali. Ma se consideriamo il fascino di una bella foto e lo paragoniamo a un semplice link, è facile immaginare come questo tipo di spam si stia diffondendo rapidamente su Pinterest. In più, bisogna da aggiungere che Pinterest è una piattaforma relativamente nuova, e non c’è stato il tempo di sviluppare sofisticati strumenti anti phishing.

Al momento lo spam più diffuso è legato a dei buoni omaggio di Starbucks, una truffa organizzata in occasione del 40° anniversario della catena internazionale di caffetterie.

  2. A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment. There’s no doubt that that you need to write more on this issue, it may not be a taboo subject but usually people do not talk about such issues. To the next! All the best!!

  3. The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesn’t disappoint me as much as this one. After all, I know it was my choice to read, nonetheless I really believed you’d have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of moaning about something you could possibly fix if you were not too busy searching for attention.

  4. Howdy, I do believe your web site could be having web browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine however, if opening in I.E., it has some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to give you a quick heads up! Apart from that, great website!

  13. May I just say what a relief to uncover an individual who genuinely knows what they’re talking about over the internet. You definitely realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important. A lot more people need to read this and understand this side of your story. It’s surprising you aren’t more popular given that you certainly possess the gift.

  18. I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s equally educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that too few people are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that I came across this in my hunt for something relating to this.
