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.

  40. Thanks for the strategies you discuss through your blog. In addition, numerous young women that become pregnant will not even seek to get medical insurance because they are full of fearfulness they wouldn’t qualify. Although some states at this moment require that insurers supply coverage despite the pre-existing conditions. Costs on these kind of guaranteed plans are usually higher, but when with the high cost of medical treatment it may be the safer approach to take to protect your financial future.

  47. Thanks for your article. Another thing is that being a photographer consists of not only problem in capturing award-winning photographs but also hardships in getting the best photographic camera suited to your requirements and most especially situations in maintaining the standard of your camera. This is certainly very accurate and evident for those photography addicts that are in to capturing this nature’s captivating scenes – the mountains, the actual forests, the actual wild or maybe the seas. Going to these exciting places undoubtedly requires a camera that can surpass the wild’s tough surroundings.
