FACEBOOK MALWARE AND COUNTERMEASURES IN A NUTSHELL




Social media’s history precedes the 21th century and ever since then malevolent people have attempted to infiltrate the computers of innocent people using these media in hope of 
  1. Obtaining sensitive information such as bank details and personal information, 
  2. Using the machine as a bridge in major cyber-attacks
  3. Impersonating you and using your account for their own ends,
  4. Installing some form of adware on your computer and bombarding your machine with endless pop-up ads, spreading spam through your computer for material gains, deceiving you to fill out a survey or by any other means try to acquire financial resources and transmitting the virus to more people via your machine with the hope of multiplying their material gains,
  5. Retaliating, gaining fame or proving that they can infiltrate someone’s machine or/and spreading the virus to a lot of people for the same reasons.
