If one reflects on the nature of the threats discussed in this document, it is
be said that most of the attacks resumed mechanisms
viral. When a new process of this type appears or is identified,
cybercriminals exploit. That's why the new
changes announced by Facebook, that will make the presence
applications and operating highly visible in the user profile,
allow scams to achieve social efficiency levels
unmatched.
Looking scams using shortened URLs detected by
Bitdefender safego, according to statistics provided by services
URL shortening, more than 15% of clicks obtained by applications
malicious were performed on the mobile version of Facebook (m.facebook.
com). A common scenario of data theft is that of applications, games
or even utilities, calling for additional authorizations so
to have access to personal data of the user. In the area
social, the future looks under the sign of malware and handling, this
which means getting people to "infect" themselves by installing
applications which perform their duties "in the background."
