Facebook these days is being filled with lots of spam messages and scam viruses. Most viruses come in the form of videos which are not actually videos but links to other bogus webpages where the user are decieved. The link is made such that the thumbnail of the link will appear as a facebook video and the title will have the term [VIDEO] in it so that people will realy think its a facebook video. When clicked it will lead to another website. This is most vivid in the Facebook spam, “Girl killed herself after her dad posted a secret of her on here fb wall.!!!”.
There a video player looking box will appear and it will ask the user to download a plugin or will generate a facebook app request. Here is the point at which the user it cheated. The downlaod will be of some virus that will work in the clients browser to automatically post similar spam links onto others walls and chats. Another virus that came up was Facebook spam, “Yeahh!! It happens on Live Television!”.
