A new phishing attack on Facebook

By Administrator
A new phishing attack on Facebook

If you receive an email informing you that Facebook has deactivated your account, do not click on the link!

It is a new phishing attack where the user receives an email allegedly from Facebook informing them that their account has been deactivated, and offering them a link where they should confirm or cancel the deactivation. Of course, it is known that Facebook never sends such messages to the user's email.

If you click on the link with the inscription "click here", a message will appear asking for permission from the user to run the Java applet. Even if the user does not want to allow it to run, the third-party application will insist on allowing the applet to run.

When the Applet is allowed to run, a message will appear informing the user that Flash Player should be updated. Accepting the update actually installs the SpyEye-B and Agent-WHZ trojans on the system, which will allow attackers to integrate the infected computer into a botnet.

This way of deceiving users is quite old, but users don't even know how to recognize Phishing and what to do at that moment. So don't open any links, turn on HTTPS while surfing Facebook (See how), and always check which link you are on.

I already wrote how to protect yourself from Phishing, so see  https://do-you-know-tech.blogspot.com/2012/03/what-is-phishing-and-how-to-protect.html

Samsung puts a camera under the screen - Notch is not needed!

By Administrator
Notch is the biggest flaw of smartphones today - period. For the vast majority of users, this is the main reason why they do not buy a phone, as well as for me. But Samsung has found a solution. True, Notch is only a transitional solution until companies find a way to place all the components on the front under the screen. Users demanded bigger and bigger screens, and smaller and smaller phones, so Notch was the only solution. Although it is present in many smartphones today, it is not generally accepted. Moreover, it is considered a flaw . Of course, the phone manufacturers told the story and tried to convince the users that Notch was ok, and many accepted that, and the others can't wait for that era to pass.

By Administrator
At the time when I got my first computer, games weren't that popular, so we researched the system, and the whole computer in general (at least I did). After discovering something interesting, we try to use it to "challenge" each other.
