"Malaysian Airlines MH370 Finally Found! Watch the video"-Spam Post!!!

Malaysian Airlines MH370 missing issue is the hot talk these days, because of that hackers have decided to make a new spam post based on that topic. Because, they know that every one are willing to know end of Plane missing case. So, if they see a post like below in their friend wall they will definitely try to open that link to see what happened...i personally felt sad when i saw a spam post related to this issue...

"Malaysian Airlines MH370 Finally Found! Watch the video" is Spam Post!!! confirmed by infortecpro.blogspot.com

Have you seen a post like this on Facebook?











Did you noticed that they have used some kind of mask to show (marked with number 2) that this post is a yahoo news post?  But if you see the line i marked with number 1 line you will understand that it is the real link for this post. Because, when you post a link on Facebook wall, it shows the link under the title of that link/related website, and it shows the description under it. So they used this fake look to make us think like it is a yahoo news post.

Any how, Facebook and its Antivirus partners have found that post as spam, and started to warn the users by showing this message.










Thanks to Facebook and Norton Antivirus for warning the people. But the bad news is they have also given "Follow Link" option to open the spam link, if you are willing to see it...You should not click follow link button in any social networks with this kind of warning message. Because, it may bring harmful thing to your computer.

Do you want to know what will happen, if you click follow link button? Yes, you may want....

Action 1: It is redirected to Link 2 from Link 1 (Note: Don't click this links)












Some script didn't work well in that page (because my antivirus has blocked it)
Initially, it was tried to run some kind of script files. I think, it was tried to share that link on my Facebook wall to attack my friends' computer as well as their Facebook wall, and their friends..

Action 2:
You may ask me, what will happen if you try to close that pop-up window by pressing "X" and try to play the video....(i tried) it was shown the following object....













A pop-up window with Facebook share button with "To Start the video,please share it above" text.
Do you think that the video will play if i click the share button, and share the video on my Facebook wall? Please don't because it is also kind of trick...Please never do that...

It is also stated the following description under the Fake video:
"Malaysia Plane HM370 Has Been Spotted Somewhere Near Bermuda Triangle. Shocking Video Release Today.CNN News"

I don't know why these people are playing with the feeling of people....If you are Hacker, and reading this post...please don't play like this to earn more money from Traffic.

The Following YouTube video shows you more about this post.


Facebook has partially identified this post as Spam post. It is also shows warning when you open the link. But if hackers decided to change the link, and the look...will it do the same? No...it takes some times to identify. We have to help them by reporting post like this to them as SPAM posts.
