We’ve previously covered a number of Facebook scams, most designed to steal your Facebook login details to spam your friends. Today another such scam popped up: the Mashable team currently has multiple mails from “Junfunrun [dot] com” and “Bulitre [dot] com” (don’t visit those domains). We’re not yet sure whether this is a fresh attack designed to steal login details, or whether it’s spam being sent from previously compromised accounts. Either way, the message is ...

Today is Alan Turing’s birthday, and there’s nothing unusual that “Alan Turing” is one of the trending topics on Twitter. However, if you aren’t careful, you might end up clicking the wrong link and picking up some malware along the way. As usual, Twitter scammers have been using trending topics, in particular the “Alan Turing” one, to link to a site that’s designed to trick the user into installing malware. Steer clear of “myworlds.mp” and ...

From July 1st and onwards, all PCs sold in China must be shipped with an internet filtering program called Green Dam. This application, besides being a possible security risk, is supposed to protect the people of China from online pornography, but it could also be used to monitor their online activities and block other, non-pornographic sites. In protest of this action from the Chinese government, Chinese artists, architect and activist Ai Weiwei has called all ...

Although likely a Photoshop, today’s Twitter meme du jour doesn’t seem too far fetched: “In Case of Fire, Do Not Use Twitter”, reads the image currently on the front page of news ranking site Digg (included below). Twitter’s use in emergencies is well-established: we’re all familiar with the trend of live-Tweeting an earthquake – perhaps in favor of taking cover. Meanwhile, an emergency in Atlanta saw a councilman using Twitter, not 911, to summon help. ...

In light of the recent events in Iran, we want to share a story from an Iranian-American colleague about his experiences using Facebook and his perspective on how much has changed in the past decade. I woke up Saturday morning to a surge of activity in my News Feed about the events unfolding in Iran. I had heard that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had been re-elected, but I had no idea how the people of Iran ...

The protests in Iran have only grown in size and in magnitude these last few days. Ever since the highly disputed “landslide victory” for incumbent Ahmadinejad and subsequent charges of voter fraud, Iranians have taken up their cameras, mobile phones, and computers to send Twitter updates, YouTube videos, and Flickr photos of the riots. While we knew that these social tools have been instrumental to the Iranian protests (so much so that the U.S. Government ...

A word of warning: don’t click links to “Ligromind [dot] com” or “Killselfz [dot] com” if they turn up in your Facebook mail today. Both are spam links which seem to be propagating quickly through the social network: even with my tech-savvy network of friends, I’ve received multiple mails tonight. As we’ve explained previously, these scams typically propagate themselves by downloading malware to your machine, then blasting messages to all your friends – either to ...

A critical network upgrade must be performed to ensure continued operation of Twitter. In coordination with Twitter, our network host had planned this upgrade for tonight. However, our network partners at NTT America recognize the role Twitter is currently playing as an important communication tool in Iran.
