This scare does not include any threat, malware, scam or virus attack; that is the reason we are calling it just a scare. At best, it is a waste of time and resources. Not to say that since it has been spreading in the wild at alarming proportions, some scammer will take a hint and modify the contents inside the message to include a malware attack. The Facebook message looks like this:
(Beginning of quote)
“Warning!!!
PLEASE RE-POST FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!THIS NOTICE IS DIRECTED TO EVERYONE WHO HAS A PAGE ON FACEBOOK: IF SOME PEOPLE IN YOUR PROFILE OR YOUR FRIENDS SEND YOU A LINK WITH WORDS "VISIT THE NEW FACEBOOK ' DO NOT OPEN! IF YOU OPEN IT YOU CAN SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR PAGE. IT'S A HACKER WHO STEALS YOUR DETAILS AND REMOVES YOU FROM YOUR OWN PAGE. COPY AND SPREAD THE WORD”
(End of quote)
All the leading security labs, as well as us, have not found any malware or threat inside this scare. There is no "hacker", "no stealing" or any other damage, so far. Just delete it, don’t pass it along to others.
