Friend or Foe: Helps users keep their friends close ... and enemies even closer
Kaspersky Lab presents it Friend Or Foe, a new free app for Facebook that allows users to evaluate how valuable their digital friends are, while showing what others think about themselves. This application will reveal which of the hundreds of followers are real "fans", who make most reprints and comments among a friend's friends. At the same time, the application also highlights the threats to social network users and the way they can protect their personal information.
For those who like to use various applications to analyze their activity, Kaspersky Lab has created a tool that collects statistics about their Facebook activity. Friend Or Foe shows just how much video and photos are published by one user, how many likes it gets and many more statistics that are of interest to Facebook lovers. Friend Or Foe is currently available in English, Russian, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazilian dialect), Spanish (Mexican dialect), Arabic and Japanese, with more to come more languages in the near future.
«Είναι βέβαιο ότι το μεγαλύτερο κοινωνικό δίκτυο στον κόσμο τραβά την προσοχή των ψηφιακών εγκληματιών. Τις περισσότερες φορές οι απατεώνες «κυνηγούν» τα προσωπικά δεδομένα και τα στοιχεία σύνδεσης των χρηστών, με στόχο να τα χρησιμοποιήσουν για να αποκτήσουν πρόσβαση σε πόρους, όπως οι λογαριασμοί mobile banking. Δεν αποτελεί καμία έκπληξη, λοιπόν, το γεγονός ότι το Facebook είναι ο πιο δημοφιλής στόχος για τους phishers. Ενδεικτικά, κατά το πρώτο τρίμηνο του 2014, το 79,5% του συνόλου των επιθέσεων phishing στα social media στοχοποίησε αυτό το δίκτυο. Εκτός από το στοιχείο της διασκέδασης, το Friend Or Foe δίνει ένα σημαντικό message about the potential threats a user faces, in understandable and simple terms," commented Evgeny Chereshnev, head of department Global enviroment Mobile Business Development by Kaspersky Lab.
