A new malware is now spreading through Facebook. According to the latest reports from the Sophos security website, this virus attacks on Android smartphones. Obviously this is just another hacker attack that comes from Facebook, which some people refer to as the “Paradise of hackers”.

It all begins with a simple Facebook invite that comes with a link attached, this invite might look like trust worthy, so eventually when you click on the link your browser will be directed several times to different servers and then its all done.  Things wont be over yet because it has just got started. Now you should know that your phone has been hacked, which means that the hackers can listen into all your calls and they could even steal some important passwords or security numbers, if you have them on your phone. Check out the video to see how it happens.

You can easily avoid these attacks by ignoring these unsecured invites and links. Next time think twice before clicking on a link and be sure to update secured browsing on your phone.
