Social Engineering + Fear + AntiVirus Scams
I clicked on a link to read a news article on MSNBC and saw the following screen:
Pretty neat, huh? My first thoughts: “Oh shoot, my Mac has trojans? And i have so many all at once?”
Then i looked again and saw that i’m still in my browser, so i hit the back button! Too bad this will actually frighten some people into purchasing some fake antivirus software. Still, i find it unique that it was targeting mac users.
By the way, last night had a fun Facebook worm where you’d receive a nasty comment from a friend. It’s so appalling and shocking that users would naturally delete it or click “Remove this app” without a second thought! However, that action resulted in the spread of the worm/virus, but Facebook’s Security team did a fast and excellent job of clamping down on it.
A MediaWiki?
I don’t know why (probably out of curiosity), but I made myself a MediaWiki! I just don’t know what I’ll use it for…Projects? How to’s?
