The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.
A worrying number of Facebook users are exchanging a link that leads to a fake CNN page with information that the United States has attacked Iran and Saudi Arabia, according to an official statement from the security company Sophos.
If users who follow the link click to watch a video that allegedly contains a report on this attack, they are required to update their Adobe Flash player via a pop-up window that largely resembles a legitimate one. Those who accept the installation will unknowingly install the malware on their computers.
Three hours after this scam appeared, more than 60,000 users followed the link to the fake CNN page.
