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.

  1. This design is wicked! You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

  3. I do believe all the ideas you’ve introduced
    on your post. They are really convincing and can certainly work.
    Still, the posts are very short for beginners. May just you please extend them a little
    from next time? Thanks for the post.

  4. Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just
    your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything.
    Nevertheless think of if you added some great pictures or videos to give
    your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this
    website could definitely be one of the greatest in its field.
    Superb blog!

  5. Its such as you read my thoughts! You seem to know so much about this, such
    as you wrote the book in it or something. I believe that you just could do with some
    p.c. to pressure the message house a little bit, but other than that, this
    is great blog. A great read. I’ll definitely be back.

  39. When I initially left a comment I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on each time a comment is added I receive 4 emails with the exact same comment. Is there an easy method you can remove me from that service? Many thanks.
