Fan Check, il malware, e il falso antivirus

facebook security

Sul profilo di Facebook Security è apparso un messaggio piuttosto allarmante, che avverte gli utenti di fare attenzione alle applicazioni sospette che potrebbero veicolare virus, e in particolare a quei finti antivirus che in realtà sarebbero degli insospettabili malware.

We’re getting reports of malware disguised as anti-virus software that’s using a rumor about a Facebook application to spread. As always, be alert, and if a piece of software seems suspicious, don’t download it. Please share this with your friends.

Insomma, gira la voce che un falso antivirus prometta di liberarvi il computer da una pericolosa applicazione Facebook infetta, mentre l’antivirus stesso sarebbe in realtà un virus.

Una storia complicata ma abbastanza familiare a chi in passato ha scaricato una apps conosciuta come Stalker Check o Fan Check, che prometteva di farvi vedere chi visitava il vostro profilo o le vostre foto. Ebbene, sembra che basti diventare fan dell’applicazione per essere infettati dal virus.

La voce (non confermata però da Symantec) ha fatto il giro del mondo, e gli hacker ne hanno approfittato, creando falsi siti che promettevano di liberare il computer da questo virus, mentre in realtà ne istallavano un altro molto più pericoloso.

Noi di IoChatto vi ricordiamo di non scaricare software sospetto da Facebook, e di segnalare ogni strano comportamento a [email protected] l’indirizzo di posta dedicato alla segnalazione degli abusi su Facebook.

  6. Heya this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

  8. May I simply just say what a comfort to discover someone that genuinely understands what they are discussing on the net. You certainly realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More and more people really need to read this and understand this side of your story. I was surprised you’re not more popular given that you definitely possess the gift.
