In October, it was a supposed sex tape involving Lindsey Lohan which got people rsvp-ing to events that would link them to the video; of course, in reality the whole thing was about making you complete sale forms online, and the video didn’t exist. Then, it was Justin Bieber’s turn, and the promise to see the teen pop star during a “happy” moment actually spread spam and malware to your Facebook friends.
Now, it appears that a new scam is spreading on Facebook, though we still have to see it materialize in our News Feeds. According to Sophos, a status update that goes, “omg Miley Cyrus sex tape [plus link]” is taking over some legitimate Facebook user accounts. It is unclear how the users’ accounts are being compromised at the moment, although the website that the link takes you to is obviously malignant. Do not click on it!
Have you seen this on your page/news feed?
