OMG Guy Clickjacking Attack Spreads Virally on Facebook [WARNING]
Tuesday, September 21, 2010
A new Facebook  clickjacking attack is on the loose today, affecting thousands of users  and spreading like wildfire through their status updates.
The scam comes in the form of a status update containing a link with the words: “OMG This GUY Went A Little To Far WITH His Revenge On His EX Girlfriend.”
As with all similar scams, after users click on the link, they’re asked to go through a fake captcha-style mechanism to see any content.
The  fake captcha (pictured above) asks users to click on two colored boxes,  which are actually linked to Facebook’s Share and “Like” buttons,  effectively causing users to “Like” the page, as well as post the  aforementioned status update to their own walls.
It doesn’t appear  that this clickjacking attack spreads malware, but it’s a clear case of  spam, and thus annoying to most users. If you or someone you know fell  for the trick, we advise you to remove the status update and the related  links from your “Likes” section on your Facebook profile page
