We all have encountered virus in daily Cyber life, But in Social Media? It's happening.Recently I got to know about these kind of virus that could easily trap you with an innocently tempting cover.
The KoobFace virus
  • The name itself is an anagram of Facebook. It has the ability to create Fb accounts on its own and post links everywhere.
  • Comes through mails with a video link attachment from your contacts, asking you to watch the video.
  • Clicking that link will redirect you to a web page, where it will offer the specific video but will ask you to install a software to watch it. And if you accept it, Koobface will successfully get into your system.
  • And the specialty of Koobface is, it could make anything happen to your system including downloading and running any random software without your permission.

All in all, it gets total access to your PC.
So in short, never get into any mails or posts that may contain such short video links.That might keep you safe.Anybody who knows any other virus that strolls through the Social Networks? Let me know in the replies below.
