Hacker: email fake Facebook photo tags used to spread viruses


The SPAM is still used by hackers despite many e-mail services are able to automatically detect these unwanted emails.
Were recently distributed a large number of emails in all similar to those that Facebook sends when you receive a tag or a notification of some kind.

These email rather than take the user to view the photo on which think they are being tagged, leads into domains with names similar to that of social networks in blue, for example Faceboook or names with "mistakes" of other kinds.


The sites that are targeted victims, although similar to real ones, are also veritable minefield where various software (so-called black hole), looking for vulnerabilities in the system, looking first to attack the browser, then the applications Adobe such as Flash and Java then the operating system directly in order to obtain control of the machine.

The diabolical thing is that if the attack is successful in a short time, the malicious site redirects the user on the site, the real one, Facebook in order to minimize the risk of the user being aware of something unusual.
So be careful because in the Internet domain, there are no typing errors, Faceboook.com and Facebook.com is not the same thing.
