is inevitable that many people will continue asking this, but beware, there is at least a virus that takes advantage of the interest of users, and is spread through Facebook through events that we are invited. Les sounds an event called "Find out who visits your profile?
Invitations are reaching many users, and according to the firm Sophos, more than 20% of Facebook profiles have been victims of this virus. When we went to see what it says the event, we see something like this: Turn to
EspiaFace.com we will see a wizard with 4 steps, where we copy a code in the browser and then share the link to EspiaFace to use a application that supposedly will tell you who visit our profile.
addition that is a lie, the site is completely false. But worst of all is that the virus uses our profile to send spam, steal information from us and our contacts, and each of our contacts will continue to infect users. Besides this, the site tries to change our browser's home page with a call wwwbuscar.com.
Imagine this on a network of over 500 million users. The vast majority of users have no idea of \u200b\u200bthe term "spam" or "malware" and not imagine that behind the Facebook event may be a virus. It is important to know that those of us who have "invited" to this Facebook event, do not know that already. Everything is done by the virus.
Those who have installed the application of EspiaFace can remove it in the privacy of our own Facebook account, at this link. From here you can remove applications that do not want to use.
As we prevent this from happening again? using common sense. Not everything that promise is true. Distrust if we see that we are invited to many events with the same name or direct us to a page that is not Facebook. This does not mean you have to distrust everything, but it is dangerous to follow instructions to blind eyes and this happens on Facebook and outside the network.
