Fan Check, il malware, e il falso antivirus

Sul profilo di Facebook Security è apparso un messaggio piuttosto allarmante, che avverte gli utenti di fare attenzione alle applicazioni sospette che potrebbero veicolare virus, e in particolare a quei finti antivirus che in realtà sarebbero degli insospettabili malware.

We’re getting reports of malware disguised as anti-virus software that’s using a rumor about a Facebook application to spread. As always, be alert, and if a piece of software seems suspicious, don’t download it. Please share this with your friends.

Insomma, gira la voce che un falso antivirus prometta di liberarvi il computer da una pericolosa applicazione Facebook infetta, mentre l’antivirus stesso sarebbe in realtà un virus.

Una storia complicata ma abbastanza familiare a chi in passato ha scaricato una apps conosciuta come Stalker Check o Fan Check, che prometteva di farvi vedere chi visitava il vostro profilo o le vostre foto. Ebbene, sembra che basti diventare fan dell’applicazione per essere infettati dal virus.

La voce (non confermata però da Symantec) ha fatto il giro del mondo, e gli hacker ne hanno approfittato, creando falsi siti che promettevano di liberare il computer da questo virus, mentre in realtà ne istallavano un altro molto più pericoloso.

Noi di IoChatto vi ricordiamo di non scaricare software sospetto da Facebook, e di segnalare ogni strano comportamento a [email protected] l’indirizzo di posta dedicato alla segnalazione degli abusi su Facebook.

  6. I have realized that of all different types of insurance, medical care insurance is the most marked by controversy because of the conflict between the insurance plan company’s need to remain making money and the user’s need to have insurance cover. Insurance companies’ commissions on wellness plans have become low, as a result some firms struggle to make money. Thanks for the tips you reveal through your blog.

  31. I have noticed that over the course of building a relationship with real estate proprietors, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in every single real estate exchange, a commission amount is paid. In the long run, FSBO sellers do not “save” the fee. Rather, they fight to win the commission by way of doing a agent’s job. In the process, they shell out their money plus time to carry out, as best they’re able to, the obligations of an realtor. Those assignments include displaying the home by way of marketing, offering the home to prospective buyers, constructing a sense of buyer emergency in order to trigger an offer, preparing home inspections, taking on qualification inspections with the bank, supervising repairs, and facilitating the closing.
