Fan Check, il malware, e il falso antivirus

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.

  28. An impressive share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a co-worker who has been conducting a little homework on this. And he in fact bought me breakfast because I stumbled upon it for him… lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thanks for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending the time to talk about this issue here on your internet site.

  31. When I originally left a comment I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on every time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the same comment. Perhaps there is an easy method you can remove me from that service? Cheers.

  35. Hi, There’s no doubt that your website might be having web browser compatibility issues. Whenever I take a look at your website in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in I.E., it has some overlapping issues. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Apart from that, fantastic site!

  47. I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and amusing, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that too few folks are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy I came across this in my search for something regarding this.
