Facebook. The largest social network on the planet is also a very dangerous place for many users, and CERT-RO issues a very important warning for all Romanians who use the platform at this time. You can see below about the warning issued by the Romanian institution, saying that Romanians who use the social network Facebook are in danger because of a new clickjacking scam, so you have to be very careful.
Facebook. We are talking about an application developed for the social network, which aims to open windows in which a certain French internet page is accessed, which no one would want to access. Everything starts with accessing a link distributed by the user, upon access a pop-up window is displayed, in which it seems that the user is asked to confirm that he is 18 years old in order to see the content of the article, but in reality the purpose is completely another.
Facebook. ATTENTION, CERT-RO WARNING in Romania
Facebook. When the user presses the button Yes, from the window displayed on the page, that post will automatically be shared on the profile page of the person in question, so the post is constantly redistributed. At this point, the user will automatically access an article in French that contains completely uninteresting information, and Facebook does absolutely nothing to block this trick that affects a very large number of users.

Facebook. The company allows the reporting of this kind of posts, but unfortunately the link that is shared is constantly modified, so blocking cannot be done very easily, but it is possible if there is a desire on the part of the company. However, until that point, you have to protect yourself, and if you see a post like the one above, report it to Facebook so that it is removed from the platform, but don't access it yourself.
