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.

  21. I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both educative and interesting, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that too few people are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy I stumbled across this in my hunt for something relating to this.

  47. My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on several websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!|
