Peaches Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Facebook application "Error Check System" bombards users with bogus messages 23 February 2009. Sophos reported that a rogue application, called 'Error Check System' has bombarded some members of the social networking site with bogus notification messages saying that friends had experienced problems viewing their profiles. Sophos experts note that since Facebook does not approve applications before they are made available on the site, users are often putting their trust in complete strangers when they choose to install the next application. In this instance, there was nothing wrong with the recipient's profiles and the warning messages were in fact a viral attempt by a third party to recruit more users, and - potentially - steal personal information for financial gain. http://www.net-security.org/secworld.php?id=7075 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
