Warning — Facebook Color Changer App is Just a Scam, Infects 10000 Users

Scammers have again targeted more than one billion active users of the popular social networking giant Facebook, to infect as many victims as possible.

This time, an old Facebook scam is back in action once again!

Malicious Facebook "Color Changer" app has resurfaced again on the popular social networking site Facebook, this time compromising more than 10,000 people worldwide.

The malicious app promises users to change the characteristic blue colour of Facebook’s header and interface to one of nine other colours including pink, purple, green, yellow, orange and black, in order to infect users’ phones and computers with malicious software.

 

So here’s what you can do in order to protect yourself from this threat. Follow these steps:

• Realize there’s no way to customize your Facebook with an app
• Do not click any link which suggests otherwise
• Even if the link suggests it’s heading toward an Official Facebook Page - DO NOT TRUST IT
