  2. Zeus Variant Attack Offers Facebook 20% Cash Back for Points

    Trusteer reported today that a P2P variant of the Zeus platform is carrying out attacks on popular online services and websites. The Facebook attack offers a fraudulent 20% cash back (web inject malware) on the purchase of Facebook points simply by linking a Mastercard or Visa debit card to a Facebook account (via filling out their fake web form).

    If you need to purchase Facebook points use a reloadable prepaid MasterCard or Visa Card and keep the dollar amount on the card below $100.00.

    The only place that you should  list your credit card details is on the payments tab of your Facebook account: Facebook Payments

     

     

    After listing your credit card details with Facebook, it is not necessary to re-enter credit card information again (while logged in to Facebook). Re-registering any credit card information elsewhere on the site is a No-No.  Always be cautious when making financial decisions about offers that you view on Facebook and other popular social media sites.
