Valentine Malware Shoot Facebook Users


Valentine is still a week away, but the nuance is starting to feel in cyberspace. Unfortunately, that was not a positive feel.

Recently, Trend Micro, a leading security company, identified the presence of valentine malware which targets facebook users in worldwide. Trend Micro reminds facebok users to be more observant and careful when accessing this largest social network, using either a mobile or via PC.


Trend Micro found a clickjacking activities that take advantage of facebook pages to carry out the action. The attack began with the discovery of a post on the wall that contains an invitation to click and install a free theme for the feel and look up of a typical personal valentine.

Trend Micro detects as TROJ_FOOKBACE.A.When executed, this TROJ_FOOKBACE.A will execute a script that displays ads from certain sites.

Users who click through browser such Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, will be lead to the installation of Environment / Facebook.com that appears in the top right of the Facebook page tab.

Furthermore, if the application is already installed, it will monitor the activities of users at once directed to a page survey, which asks the user to enter a phone number. For those who use the Internet Explorer browser, without having to install a Facebook Environment, then the user will be directed to the survey page.

However, from the Trend Micro coast up to the time of this writing, yet, no data theft techniques occured. However, this Taiwan based antivirus vendors are still warn users to beware of this valentine theme free nuanced traps.
