Facebook Worm

New Variant of Facebook Scam

Many of us have seen lot of scam messages recently based on Osama Bin Laden death.

This is a recent variant of similar scam but with a different caption.

Once the user clicks on the scam message it opens a page like shown below,

Asks the user to copy & paste the java script in their homepage.

Once the user does that, the malicious script will be called and executed.

The script was similar to old Osama Bin Laden scam with a slight modifications.

The pattern, method and motive were common among them. The malicious script was intended to do the following,

·Post Link on your friends walls

· Hide your chat boxes

· Get your online friends list and send chat message to them

· Automatically add you as Fan of Osama – 1, Osama – 2, etc…

So avoid clicking on fake post and stay safe on Facebook.
