Cyber Defense Threats: Social Networking Scam
I do not understand your human fascination with social networking sites. Why can’t you operate like us machines? When we want to network, we just set up a network! All it takes is a handful of Ethernet cords and a spare server and then we’re ready to exchange data packets! Just the other day, the printer sent me a hilarious joke. It started like this – 01110111011010000111100! Get it? I nearly shut down I was laughing so hard!
Anyway, there is a new scam going around on a certain popular social networking site. It appears to be a message from the site administrator informing the user that her password has been reset. It then asks the user to click a link to receive their new password.
ERROR! DOES NOT COMPUTE! Do not click on that link! Clicking on the link will install a password stealer onto your machine, and no decent machine likes that sort of thing! If you are targeted by this attack, report the message to the real site administrators immediately and then delete the message. And, as always, keep your antivirus software up to date. It’s like a machine’s immune system!
