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.

  6. When I originally left a comment I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on every time a comment is added I receive four emails with the exact same comment. There has to be a way you are able to remove me from that service? Thanks!

  13. The next time I read a blog, I hope that it does not disappoint me just as much as this one. I mean, Yes, it was my choice to read through, but I actually believed you’d have something helpful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of complaining about something you could fix if you weren’t too busy seeking attention.
