MySpace Adult Content Viewer

Amorous Web, Cyber Sex

Phishing scams - attempts to fool you into revealing user names and passwords - are becoming every more popular. Never, ever click on a link you don’t trust. When it doubt ask in a public forum or send a question to the support department. Of course if you are ashamed to admit you want to look at the photo of a naked hottie and click anyway I guess you’ll just have to accept what becomes of your account.

One recent scam works this way: A spammer posts a number of phony profiles featuring pictures of cute women, often promising nude photos.

A “friend request” with the woman’s photo is sent to hundreds of users.

Once the fake profile loads, a blue screen descends, saying the profile is protected by the “MySpace Adult Content Viewer.”

Unsuspecting users who try to download the viewer instead get a worm that installs adware on their computers.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about MySpace Adult Content Viewer. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
