Facebook are investigating reports that some pornographic and violent images are being posted on users' newsfeeds.
The material is thought to have been spread widely in the last 24 hours via a 'linkspam' virus when users click on a seemingly innocuous story link.
Thousands of users have complained via Twitter of the security breach which is allowing photoshopped porn images and, in some cases, pictures of the violent mutilation of animals and people.
No one has yet claimed responsibilty for the breach, although several people have linked the attack to hacking activist group Anonymous after a video appeared on YouTube threatening to "kill" the social network.
However, experts have questioned whether the video was authentic.
A spokeswoman for Facebook said: "[We are] aware of these reports and we are investigating the issue".for more details click here
if i have Facebook virus or my account has been hacked? Here are three things that i wants to share with you guys: change your password, remove suspicious apps, and perform a virus scan.
ReplyDeleteso you guys have to get some security software and run a virus scan.It’s possible your Facebook woes are coming from some sort of malware, be it a keylogger, a trojan, or some other type of virus. Even if you think your computer is clean, it can’t hurt to check.
I recommend Microsoft Security Essentials –it’s free and gets the job done very well. Another good one is Malwarebytes. Other free alternatives include Avira and Avast.
The aforementioned security programs are for Windows. If you have a Mac, try using the antivirus from Sophos.
After running the virus scan, clean out whatever the program detects. If you’re not sure about what it found, ask a friend who might.
