Jakarta - Scam atau penipuan baru yang memanfaatkan
metode phising tengah membidik Facebooker. Menurut firma keamanan
Sophos, phising email ini meminta pengguna Facebook mematikan akun
mereka.
Seolah-olah dikirim resmi dari Facebook, pesan tersebut
memberi peringatan bahwa jika pengguna tidak mengikuti perintah tersebut
maka semua detail akun mereka hilang akan hilang dalam waktu 24 jam.
Dilansir
Times of India, Kamis (24/11/2011), pesan phising ini menuding korban
telah melanggar regulasi kebijakan Facebook dengan mengganggu pengguna
Facebook lain. Pesan itu lantas meminta detail informasi personal dan
finansial si pengguna, termasuk username dan password Facebook.
Namun
seperti disebutkan Sophos, email ini palsu dan bukan berasal dari
Facebook. "Media sosial tidak akan meminta informasi finansial personal,
maupun username dan password," tulis Sophos. Tak lupa, dalam laporannya
tersebut Sophos juga menyertakan dua contoh pesan scam yang patut
diwaspadai.
