Remote Control Facebook

Hey, after few days of busy schedule, i got something interesting and important to share. Earlier also i have experienced these kind of malicious activities over facebook.


Here is one example of same. Initially it lure users by saying "99% of people can’t watch this video for more than 25 seconds".

When you click the link, you will land on another page that offers to show you a video, but before watching the video either you need to copy and paste some code into the browser address bar or to some friends wall or at your status like that, this depends upon the guy who made this malicious page.

In most of the cases people doesn't paste this JavaScript onto their address bar, but if you did, you are taken to a page which automatically tells all your friends that you like the app, and it posts that link to your status. Nearly 600k “friends” that liked it makes it too effective.
