Breaking News...... ALERT!!!! * DO NOT REQUEST TO ADD: 'STEFANIA COLAC' AND
'ALEJANDRO SPITZNER'. THESE ARE HACKERS. SO TELL ALL ON YOUR WALL. IF SOMEONE
ADDS THEM THEY EARN YOUR CONTACTS, EMPTY COMPUTERS AND ADDRESSES. SO COPY AND
PASTE THIS TEXT ON YOUR WALL * FACEBOOK VIRUS GOING AROUND. IF YOU GET AN INBOX
MESSAGE WITH A VIDEO LINK SAYING VIDEO OF YOU - DO NOT OPEN - **IT IS A VIRUS!!!
Pass it ON.
When you open your Facebook or Twitter or Myspace account recently, maybe you will find this alert, it is on your wall, your friend wall, groups, or your inbox.
What is this alert about? In most cases, such alert are fake. This one seems to be fake too, it's a kind of hoax. If one of those two name above is in your friend's list, that doesn't mean that you'll get hacked. Even if you receive a suscpicious email with a link in it, do not open or follow the link they suggested. So disregard the alert and keep it for yourself to stop the case, the hoax doesn't work for you or maybe doesn't bother you at all.
But for some individual, especially a person with a virus-phobia, they'll act spontaneously by sending the alert to all his/her friends, website social network account, groups, YM or other community services. In this situation, the hoax is successful.
Back to the alert above, we know that there was something going on of that we cannot be sure. In some cases, that recently attacking Twitter, please read the information on Yahoo News, the spam campaign like this alert seems to be the beginning of attacking. As a result, the level of server traffic suddenly increase.
Of course, you don't want any of your social networ account turn slow-down, so not to re-distribute this alert is very wise since you can't find any reliable source to verify its voracity. You should know that this is a hoax tactic, and the good action is NEVER PASS IT ON.
