“>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Event happed TO -A young Girl killed herself after her dad posted a secret of her on her fb wall.... check dad post at--------------------===>Malicious link<=== (remove space from link)”



Today, I found few new variants of the old scam. Looks like the spammers are more benefited with this spam message “A young Girl killed herself after her dad posted a secret of her on her fb wall” since they spread the same message again and again in different methods.


Once you click on the link in the spam messages you will be redirected to a website like shown below. Where it will asks you to install a plugin named “OMX plugin”. Here a famous French web hosting site has been used to a create free domain name and redirect traffic to “watch-status.blogspot.com" domain which host the malicious link to the site http://mysibrand.info/index11.php.


Above you are able to see only “http://newtocheck.c.la/ in the address bar actually you are restricted to view the other 2 malicious sites (watch-status.blogspot.com & mysibrand.info/index11.php) which are responsible for displaying the above content.

Once you install these plugins it will initiate the java scripts(script.js & extra.js) present in the remote site “http://COUPONCI.INFO/test/”. These scripts run behind and spam your wall with the message "Omg , A young Girl killed herself after her dad posted a secret of her on her fb wall.... check dad post at===> Link to FB Photo which contains malicious link”


Then your wall will look something like this,


Above what you see is link to a photo in an hacked facebook account where it contains the malicious link to spread.

Below what you see is the compromised facebook account with a photo uploaded and also contains malicious link.


After posting these spam messages it will redirect you to the site 'http://soshocking2011.blogspot.com" and prompt you to complete the surveys.


The scammers earn commission for every survey that is completed. Their work is to drive traffic to the online surveys and make people enter their personal details. Then these details are used by marketing companies. The affiliate marketing company here is cpalead.com please check the below java script.


Below is the removal instructions to remove the installed malicious plugin.

If you’re Chrome user go to Tools->Extensions->Remove
