Phishing for Facebook

While researching several suspect domains at Google Diagnostic ... Landing on "uxfl.co. cc"
which redirects to a IP address that tries to mimic a Facebook page complete with a bogus Flash player upgrade. As you can see my AV NOD32 jumped up and killed the connection, as the page automatically downloads a malicious file ...

Google Diagnostic report for uxfl.co.cc - "Malicious software includes 13 worm(s). Successful infection resulted in an average of 25 new process(es) on the target machine."

Also involved (see URL in the address bar) is "kiano-180809. com" and the Google Diagnostic report revels "Malicious software includes 516 trojan(s), 352 worm(s), 71 exploit(s). Successful infection resulted in an average of 41 new process(es) on the target machine."

 Be careful out there folks ... the bad guys spend all day thinking of new ways to get into your machine. Since it is no longer profitable trying to break into Windows Vista ... they devote all their efforts into "social-engineering" = tricking users into falling for these scams ...

Ref e-mail: [Hosts News] - Phishing for Facebook

When you mention sites in your articles should we put them in the Hosts file if they aren't there? For instance I didn't find uxfl.co.cc but did find kiano.....

Thanks
