Yet another Facebook Clickjacking attack is making the rounds. This time the message shows as below.
A right-click (not left) will allow you to copy the source location and open the link in a protected environment. The link brings up the following image
The “Jaa” button is actually a “Share” button and will post the first picture on your wall. Following the links leads to a survey for which the attackers almost certainly get paid if you complete it. Following through with the “surveys” leads to a YouTube video of a clothed woman on a webcam that is a thinly disguised advertisement for a “sexy webcam” site.
You know, Facebook has their Facial recognition “feature”. Perhaps it is time to recognize a legitimate “share” button too. The current functionality of the Facebook share feature means that users have to know how to inspect links in order to safely use Facebook.
