If you're a constant facebook user who rely on email alerts to know when and what their friends do, beware !
because those users do risk getting their computers infected with
malware. It's because now a days cybercriminals are relying on fake
notifications to spread a offensive Trojan (virus).
Message with subject :
“Your friend added a new photo with you to the album,”
Message :
“One of Your Friends added a new photo
with you to the album. You are receiving this email because you've been
listed as a close friend. View photo with you in the attachment”
There are fake emails designed to trick recipients into opening the
attached file which allegedly contains a photo. But in reality, the
attachment is not a picture, but a piece of malware identified as
Troj/Agent-XNN.
You should be aware by now that the social media site never sends the
pictures posted online as attachments via email. That is why users are
always advised to beware of shady-looking notifications.
Take Care
