VKontakte fraudsters moved to Facebook
Tweet


A new type of fraud appeared in the world's most popular social network Facebook, which moved there from its Russian counterpart VKontakte. This is being warned at Doctor Web.

Attackers created for Facebook a special application Profile Visitor, which asks the user for access to his wall, promising to show a list of those who visited his page. In fact, a picture is posted on the user's wall with a link to a fraudulent website. In turn, the victim’s friends on Facebook receive notifications that they were allegedly marked in this picture, which expands the distribution area of the malicious link.

“Having looked at his page on the Facebook social network, a user can find in the news feed a link to the Profile Visitor program, supposedly capable of capturing and displaying visitors to his profile on a special page,” says Kirill Leonov, a spokesman for Doctor Web. - The link, as a rule, is published on behalf of one of the user's friends and leads to the page of the built-in Facebook application, for which activation it is required to allow the program to publish content on behalf of the user account. As soon as an unsuspecting victim clicks on the “Allow” button, a link to this application, posted on her behalf, will appear on the wall of her profile and in the news feed of all her friends. However, even if the user does not allow Profile Visitor to make any publications on his behalf, everyone who is registered in his friends list will be automatically marked on the “photo”, which is an advertising banner link for the Profile Visitor application. Notification of this will be automatically sent to your Facebook contact list.
