Beware of Facebook Clickjacking


Facebook spam has been a pressing issue for the users – this clickjacking worm has gone viral in the social network that hit thousands of users. The scam is simple, the users are supposed to “like” a link. Usually, it reads – OMG Click here to watch this video – very convincing bait for the users.

Before clicking any links, always check the URL (does the extension exist?) When you click on the link, your account will be compromised – it will start sending spam to your friends.

If you have fallen prey to this modus, visit the Facebook privacy settings and look for the “Apps and Websites.”Choose the app from the list and remove it from your account.

Here’s a video demonstration of Facebook clickjacking.
