Facebook Messenger user? Watch out for fake messages rigged with malware. Cybercriminals are using Facebook Messenger to spread adware, duping victims by redirecting them to fake versions of popular websites that are tailored to their browser. The attacks were uncovered by a security researcher who received a suspicious Facebook message from a contact and analysed its contents."This malware was spreading via Facebook Messenger, serving multi platform malware/adware, using tons of domains to prevent tracking, and earning clicks. The code is advanced and obfuscated," said David Jacoby, senior security researcher in the global research and analysis team at Kaspersky Lab. Researchers have suggested that malicious links are being sent from Messenger accounts that have been compromised as a result of stolen credentials, hijacked browsers, or clickjacking. The initial attack is fairly simple.

Given the user knows the person they're receiving the message from, it's likely they'll trust what is being sent, and so click on what appears to be links to videos, memes, and other content.

This site will then attempt to encourage the target to install adware. For example, a Google Chrome user is sent to a website designed to look like You. Tube, complete with the official logo and branding. The website shows the visitor a fake error message designed to trick them into downloading a malicious Chrome extension.

Facebook Has a New Mission News & Opinion. Over the past decade, Facebook's mission has been to make the world more open and connected. Going forward, however, its goal is to "give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together," Mark Zuckerberg announced Thursday.

Facebook will continue working to "give people a voice and help people connect," but this new mission statement takes things a step further. Our society is still divided," Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post.

It's not enough to simply connect the world."He went on to say that the "greatest opportunities and challenges" of the next generation—things like "ending poverty, curing diseases, stopping climate change, spreading freedom and tolerance, [and] stopping violence"—will only be solved collaboratively, when groups and nations work together. Change, he added, has to start locally."We have to build a world where every single person has a sense of purpose and community," the Facebook co- founder wrote.

Facebook wants to foster a supportive, safe, informed, civically engaged, and inclusive community, he wrote.

Facebook is also testing a group- to- group linking feature that lets admins recommend similar or related groups to their members.
