A fresh malware attack targeted specifically at businesses and consumers who use Facebook has been devised, making use of social engineering and phishing.
The Comodo Threat Research Lab team has found that the Facebook malware tries to represent itself as an email from Facebook which states there is a new message for the recipient. The email address and sender’s name tries to brand itself as Facebook, but the sender’s email address is from different domains and not in any way related with the Facebook company.
The subjects of the emails are pretty straightforward: A brief vocal e-mail was delivered; an audio announcement has been delivered!; an audible warning has been missed; you got a vocal memo!; you recently missed a short audible notice; and Ein Videohinweis wurde vermisst! (German for “a video note was missed”).
