TRIBUNNEWS.COM - Be careful before you click a link to "pull" on Twitter - it would have a fraud (fraud). Symantec Security Response has observed that scammers take advantage of playing in the same way as they use Internet search engines - they make the game that contain the keyword in it.Just like a website created for access by search engines can be found using cheat the game that no great effort. For example, see a new game based on the list of search results for the most recent tweet.There are at least 100 accounts to Tweet about 300 per hour with a link lead. Twitter is suspected malicious URL blocking and marking of suspected hazardous shortened URL. However, some users on a site like this example, if you will be redirected to malicious links via a smartphone.  Users are usually said that they completed the registration for a paid video service and asked for payment be made. This page displays information such as IP address, customer number and the browser used to access the page in order to convince users that it remain the owner of the track.Users should note that the phone can quickly become dangerous, because fraudsters adapt to the growing popularity of using mobile devices and develop a strategy on mobile platforms.Although the incident is to have the game turned off, Symantec advises users everything they see suspicious on their mobile phones in the same way, treat, just like they do when using a computer.Symantec also confirmed that the number of computers infected with malware Flashback decline, with about 270 000 600 000 machine is still infected earlier reported, and most of the remaining infections begins in North America, Autralia and the UK.IT departments and computer users can learn valuable lessons from this experience, no operating system is immune to malware attacks and all devices connected to the Internet security protection in it.Mac users is not all luck. There are still hundreds of thousands of users who have not taken the necessary steps to remove the malware. Other infections can also occur if proper security update is not performed. Cyber-criminals often make other use of existing, yet another attempt to spread the Mac malware infections will likely emerge.
