BEWARE OF NEW FACEBOOK ATTACK

A new Facebook attack is making the rounds. It shows up as on a friend's page as a video link. The description claims that "99% of people can't watch." Users clicking the link are taken to a new page.

The page contains a line of code. Users are told to copy and paste it into the address bar. The code modifies your Facebook page and can give hackers control. So far 600,000 people have been affected. However, the attack is easily avoided. Never copy and paste information into your browser address bar. There is very rarely a legitimate reason to do so.
