Bailey,
fellow V8 enthusiast and IT specialist, has reported on the
V8 Facebook Group that he has seen another spate of suspicious
links are being circulated across Facebook Messenger and
WhatsApp since towards the end of 2019 and the beginning of
2020 that are designed to lure users to potentially malicious
websites.
The links,
which are likely to appear as if they have been sent by a friend
or family member on Facebook or other messaging services, attempt
to lure users into clicking them by using captions like I
am send you a surprise message. Open this. Upon clicking
these links, users are taken to unsecure websites that, in this
case, ask visitors to input a name to create a personalised
greeting card. However all of the website domains associated
with this spate of links are unsecure and recently created,
meaning they could easily be used to try and trick visitors
into installing malware or rogue browser extensions, or possibly
used to trick users into giving away sensitive login information.
