A new porn scam is spreading startlingly quickly through Facebook – one that has managed to spread malware to over 110,000 users in 48 hours, reports The Guardian.
The scam works by a Facebook friend sharing what appears to be a pornographic videoclip, tagging in up to 20 of their friends. Upon visiting the page, though, the video clip will play the “first few seconds” of a video. A screenshot on Gizmodo shows what happens on Windows computers: a ‘half decoded’ image and a message saying, “Unfortunately, the video can not be opened.. Please Update the Adobe Flash Player.. Please Run the InstallFlashPlayer.exe After the installation is complete and try again!..”
