A Facebook phishing attack is on the loose this weekend — the third widespread attack on the site in the past three weeks. The attack attempts to steal your Facebook login credentials, install malware on your computer, and even get your home address. The attack is spread via a “hilarious video” posted to Facebook walls, reports WebSense — when clicked, a form appears requesting your Facebook login. The attack then returns you to Facebook, installs an app called “Media Player HD”, and asks you to download the “FLV player” — doing so installs malware on your machine. It gets worse: Depending on your location, you may also be presented with a contest to win an iPad … if you just enter your home address. To avoid getting caught, simply remove the “hilarious video” if you find it on your Facebook wall. If you see it elsewhere on Facebook, don’t click it … and of course remember the obvious rule: Don’t enter your Facebook login anywhere other than Facebook.com. If you already fell fo...

Facebook claims that it has 400 million users. But are they well-protected from prying eyes, scammers, and unwanted marketers? Not according to Joan Goodchild, senior editor of CSO (Chief Security Officer) Online . She says your privacy may be at far greater risk of being violated than you know, when you log onto the social-networking site, due to security gaffes or marketing efforts by the company. Facebook came under fire this past week, when 15 privacy and consumer protection organizations filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission , charging that the site, among other things, manipulates privacy settings to make users' personal information available for commercial use. Also, some Facebook users found their private chats accessible to everyone on their contact list--a major security breach that's left a lot of people wondering just how secure the site is. In two words, asserts Goodchild: not very. On "The Early Show on Saturday Morning," Go...

Facebook has responded to a an apparently massive attempt to steal passwords from its users. "There's another spoofed email going around that claims to be from Facebook and asks you to open an attachment to receive a new password," read a post on the Facebook Security page.

Enam puluh persen pebisnis mengaku bahwa Facebook merupakan situs jejaring sosial yang beresiko, demikian diungkap oleh vendor keamanan, Sophos. Sementara itu, pendapat serupa juga disampaikan Kaspersky Labs dengan menuding Twitter—situs microblogging yang tengah naik daun—menjadi situs jejaring nomor dua yang berisiko setelah Facebook. Sophos melakukan survai terhadap 502 profesional IT. Hasilnya, para pelaku bisnis itu memang melihat banyak malware dan spam yang berkeliaran di ranah maya.

McAfee melaporkan jejaring sosial akan menghadapi eskalasi serangan peretas pada 2010. Penegakan hukum diharapkan membuat gebrakan memerangi kejahatan dunia maya itu. “Ledakan aplikasi Facebook dan layanan lainnya akan menjadi ranah ideal bagi kejahatan dunia maya yang akan mengambil keuntungan sesama teman yang saling percaya untuk mengklik link yang potensial mengandung ancaman berbahaya,” ujar McAfee.
