Recently Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of the social network Facebook, announced that the company is working on a new feature that will allow you to Dislike, or I do not like your friends' posts.
But this feature has engendered the interest of cybercriminals and decided to exploit it by luring unsuspecting internet users.
So right now there are posts on Facebook that promise the button Dislike before it's officially released. The cheaters even state that it will be made available to a few users initially, for testing purposes. They also mention that the new feature is being distributed “by invitation only” from the system.
Fraud also contains links, which, when pressed, lead the user to a malicious site. There is a countdown timer that prompts the user to complete the process immediately before the time runs out.
The site then asks the victim-user to share Facebook scams, but also 5 chat groups with Messenger.
Once spread, the scam redirects the user to a new page where they are asked to fill out some questionnaires, which collect the user's personal information, names and passwords accesss.
Add some variants of the same fraud that can install malware on the victim's computer.
So you would do well to think two times before clicking on posts that look suspicious, or just too good to be true.
Let's not forget that the scammers win in this fight because they have virtually no opponent. This is why continuous information is needed.
