Su Pinterest c’è di tutto, anche lo spam

Spread the love

Era solo questione di tempo prima che lo spam facesse la sua comparsa su Pinterest, il nuovo social network “image based” che in breve tempo ha conquistato anche gli italiani. Ma per il momento possiamo stare tranquilli, perché l’attacco spam sembra essere finalizzato solo agli utenti degli Stati Uniti. Ma se dovesse fare la sua comparsa anche qui da noi, consoliamoci col fatto che lo spam di Pinterest è facile da individuare e, di conseguenza, da evitare.

Il meccanismo ricalca l’inganno delle “gift card” già visto su Facebook: coupon omaggio e buoni sconto per gli utenti Pinterest che cliccheranno sul link indicato. Ma trattandosi di Pinterest, stavolta si tratta di un “image link”, cioè un’immagine che – se cliccata – reindirizza a siti poco affidabili.

La novità della truffa si limita a questo: immagini al posto di link testuali. Ma se consideriamo il fascino di una bella foto e lo paragoniamo a un semplice link, è facile immaginare come questo tipo di spam si stia diffondendo rapidamente su Pinterest. In più, bisogna da aggiungere che Pinterest è una piattaforma relativamente nuova, e non c’è stato il tempo di sviluppare sofisticati strumenti anti phishing.

Al momento lo spam più diffuso è legato a dei buoni omaggio di Starbucks, una truffa organizzata in occasione del 40° anniversario della catena internazionale di caffetterie.

  5. I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that not enough folks are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy that I stumbled across this during my hunt for something concerning this.

  6. May I simply say what a relief to find someone who genuinely knows what they’re talking about on the web. You definitely realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More and more people must read this and understand this side of the story. I was surprised that you aren’t more popular given that you most certainly possess the gift.

  7. After I initially left a comment I appear to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a comment is added I recieve four emails with the exact same comment. Is there a way you can remove me from that service? Thank you!
