Spammers and Malwares Find new Targets Through Facebook for Android Mobile App
Today as I browse on youtube, like I used to do most of the time, I happen to encounter an unexpected notice that disallow me to share or post videos to my facebook profile. The notice says:
Until now I keep wondering how it happened until I read one of the headlines on my Google News and Weather app regarding the mobile malware spreading over targeting Android OS users through Facebook app!
This is alarming in a way that the youtube as well as facebook apps are now prone to malware and spams and although I am planning to report this to legal authorities, there are no assurance that my phone would be back to safe and normal.
I hope that this post may serve as a note or a lesson to everyone who are also active in video sharing and posting status frequently on youtube and facebook.
Excellent work.Your blog information is knowledgeable.This is one of the reliable post.Thanks for your support.
I also have received annoying adverts that pop up as a notification in the same way as a facebook notification does at the top of my Samsung android phone where you pull down to view updates and notifications. I had no idea where this spam was coming from but I know it didn't happen until I had the Facebook app installed on my phone. I've now uninstalled the facebook app as I can't stand being spammed on my phone! It feel like a real invasion of privacy in some way.
