Last time news world wide news reporters informed you about the clickjack attack and today we have more on the same story.
It is been noticed and reported by tech news reporters that the Clickjacking worm is moving forward. The facebook clickjacking worm is spreading via the “Like� feature in the Facebook.
This attack that has already hit many of hundred thousand facebook users has been using a blend of social engineering and clickjacking to make it seem as a user has “liked� a url.
The communication which is found in the link include, “LOL This girl gets OWNED after a POLICE OFFICER reads her STATUS MESSAGE,� “This man takes a picture of himself EVERYDAY for 8 YEARS!!,� “The Prom Dress That Got This Girl Suspended From School� and “This Girl Has An Interesting Way Of Eating A Banana , Check It Out!�
As the user clicks on the text which appears to be “liked� he/she is navigated to a blank page which has the text, “Click here to continue.� And by clicking on that page will then publish the same message to that users Facebook page.
This worm attack is very much same to the Fbhole worm that multiplied on Facebook just 10 days back.
