Shockingly Good Facebook Virus/Trojan Attack Attempt

Posted on by

So this morning a friend of mine sent me a bunch of messages on facebook, claiming that I was caught doing some funny stuff on video (entirely possible really):

By now I was suspicious, cause Amin doesn’t actually type messages out like a teenage girl (for the most part). So I clicked the link, and found this page next:

This is brilliant! A message that you need to update your Flash Player, very common for new installs of Windows. What makes it more convincing is the comments list — people from my Friends List, and that of the original victim appear to be egging me on to download the Flash Update and install it!

I suspect I’m going to be getting an increased number of desperate please for help within the next few days from people who worry if their antics have been caught on video, and as a result upgraded their Flash Player. Sigh.

UPDATE: Thanks to Sophie Hamilton, I have more info on it at Malware City.

Make Your Band’s Album Cover Meme

The meme has been going around, and here’s my take — click to embiggen :)

Make your band's album cover meme

Make your band’s album cover meme:

  1. Go to Wikipedie’s special random page. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
  2. Go to Quotations Page’s random quotations page. The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album.
  3. Go to Flickr’s explore the last seven days page. Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
  4. Use Photoshop or similar to put it all together.
  5. Post it to FB with this text in the “caption” or “comment” and TAG the friends you want to join in.
