got facebook message saying "you know your facebook is all over kchangbuzz.com" i went to the site & gave info? - sdsash_123 - 11-09-2012 05:11 PM so what happens now? i know now that its either a virus or spam. well, i guess i would like to know which......and what to do now. i changed my facebook and e-mail passwords, is that enough or is there anything else i need to change? - md190t - 11-09-2012 05:20 PM that should be enough. NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR CREDENTIALS!! lol - boricua8686 - 11-09-2012 05:20 PM I think that is enough. The same thing happened to me on Myspace, but I solved it by changing my pass. you should be safe. Just make your passwords more secure. - natecox87 - 11-09-2012 05:20 PM the message was probably just spam but you could've gotten a virus or spyware from the website. I think Spybot is a pretty good program to use to get rid of those. - Md - 11-09-2012 05:20 PM <<Did you know that your pics are all over Kchangbuzz.com (or other sites)?>> That's a message which many MySpace and facebook users have gotten, supposedly from either a relative or a close friend - so far I've seen reports on YA from: atomipad.com, azurebuzz.com, azurezoom.com, bubbleserve.com, coralpad.com, crimsonopia.com, deesphere.com, dynatoken.com, flapset.com, gabbleset .com, getemtoken.com, getemset.com, gingersphere.com, hazelpad.com, heycode.com, iconnik.com, phototradingspot.info, scrality.com, snapnik.com, tradepicsnow.com, ubzunit.com, wackset.com, wackstate.com, wareate.com and a couple of others. When you follow the link included in the mail, you'll be led to a site which asks you for personal infos like name, mail account, passwords - you get the picture? Right, the site which supposedly has your pictures displayed, never had them, it doesn't even exist! The whole thing is just a phishing scam! And when you ask your contact, you'll find that he never send you the mail! After doing a lot of research, I found that a single guy is behind half of the addresses listed above. I suggest to forward such a message to the links below: phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com http://www.spamcop.net/ Federal Trade Commission spam@uce.gov Treasury Department 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/re... - this site contains links for various countries Here's how to do the forwarding bit: click the crtl key and at the same time click the "forward" button to forward a message as an attachment, mac users should click the "apple" key and click "forward" simultaneously.
