What\u2019s this? A random post dangling genuinely free porn in yourFacebook<\/a> feed? Think twice before clicking on it, because there\u2019s no happy ending in sight if you do.<\/p>\n

I know, Geek readers, you\u2019re positively shocked that something popping up in Facebook feeds like crazy is actually a hoax. It\u2019s hard to believe, but it does<\/em> happen. It\u2019s also hard to imagine anyone thinking that clicking on anything porn-related on Facebook would ever be a good idea.<\/p>\n

But clearly someone does, which is amazing. Even if there was<\/em> real porn waiting for your mouse click to kickstart the action, you\u2019re still running the risk of broadcasting what you\u2019re doing to anyone you\u2019re friends with \u2014 which is exactly what\u2019s happening with this new attack. Once a victim clicks through they unwittingly tag their friends and send an invite<\/a> to the peep show.<\/p>\n

This latest scam takes a more subtle approach<\/a> to propagation than other Facebook malware the experts have seen. Similar stunts have relied on sending bogus messages from the victim to his or her friends. A simple tag is much more cunning. There\u2019s no awkwardly-worded message to tip another user off, just a simple, harmless-looking tag. Pique their interest and entice the initial click, then hope that the new target can\u2019t resist finding out what it is that their friend just had<\/em> to watch.<\/p>\n

Oh, but wait\u2026 you can\u2019t watch this porn because you\u2019re plug-in is out-of-date! No worries, a couple more clicks will ensure that you\u2019re properly taken care of. Commit this to memory, Facebook users: any video that demands you install or update a plug-in before viewing it? It\u2019s probably a Trojan. There are much better (and safer\u2026 and less public) places to look for porn than Facebook.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
