Think Before You Click : How To Protect Yourself On FACEBOOK ?

I suggest you to read the following to protect your Facebook and other Social Networking Profiles.

What is clickjacking on Facebook?

Clickjacking is a security threat similar to cross-site scripting. It happens when cybercriminals use several transparent layers to trick users into clicking a button or a link. Clickjacking may use different types of links, ranging from image links to text links.
The term “clickjacking” was coined because the attack aims to "hijack" the number of clicks meant for a particular page. It then routes to the clicks to another page. Cybercriminals hide malicious content under the veil of legitimate pages and may use iframes and malicious JavaScript to load this content from a third-party site.

BEWARE OF FAKE FACEBOOK SECURITY PAGE PHISHING SCAM


Trend Micro has spotted a malware sample, TSPY_MINOCDO.A, which targets Facebook users. The malware redirects users to a spoofed page of the social network and claims to be part of the site's security check feature, even showing the tagline “Security checks help keep Facebook trustworthy and free of spam”. Users eager to log into Facebook may fall victim to this ruse, taking the 'security check' for face value. This may result in them entering their details and thus exposing their credit card accounts to cyber criminal infiltration. The report has also highlighted the three-fold increase in attacks on small businesses from 2011. Trend Micro said the survey scam had also promised other tech goodies such as Google Glass, Instagram, and Tumblr.
