Another fake warning message has been made on Facebook. This time, the hoax warns of a virus called "Death Age."
Publications state (often in capitals letterthe):
ATTENTION EVERYONE WHO CAN SEE THESE PLEASE READ THERES AND FACEBOOK VIRUS CALLES DEATH AGE AND FIREY SKULL WITH THE AGE YOU SUPPOSEDLY LIVE UNTIL WITH ONE COMMENT TO A LINK DO NOT FOLLOW IT !!! IT POSTS TO EVERYTHING YOU BELONG TO I SWEAR TO EVERYTHING THATS TRUTH COPY, PASTE AND SHARE THIS POST HURRY IVE ALREADY BEEN INFECTED AND ITS POSTING ME EVERYWHERE AND ITS NOT ME
The publication is currently only available in English, but this does not preclude it from coming to us soon.
As he says Hoax Slayer, the message is extremely inaccurate and misleading. Sure, of course there are some applications of Facebook that spam the user's account, but are not actually viruses.
In addition, a Facebook user should provide the permission of in these applications to gain rights to do anything.
Of course, applications that can tell you when you will die are not uncommon on Facebook, however, you can always choose if you want to give them the rights they ask for before installing them.
You just can not install them. If you have already installed such an application, you can remove it by following the instructions provided by Facebook .
Informing your Facebook friends about malware is quite helpful. However, if you want to do it, do it right. If you have read a post that mentions what harm can happen, it seems misleading, bloated or even difficult to understand it would be good to research it before you start reproducing it.
Unfortunately, Facebook, as one of the largest social platforms, is being abused by various spammers and scammers. It will be good to know that if we see a message urging him to republish, there is a very high probability that it is another hoax.
