Waspadai Perintah Matikan Akun Facebook

 
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.
