Beware!, to all my Facebook friends and readers, Trend Micro announced last Sunday that there's a latest malware attack to our account. A page on Facebook that offers a Christmas theme for your profile that may lead you to be malspam.
Trend Micro said in a blog post, "Once users click the Like button, the page redirects them to a URL which allows victims to download and install a malicious plugin named Free Cheesecake Factory Coupons."
Trend Micro antivirus software detected the malware as TROJ_REDIR.CU.
Trend Micro said, "Users need to be extra vigilant this holiday season, since cybercriminals are surely to continue launching attacks that use the holiday season as a lure."
