Facebook Dislike hype exploited in phishing campaign
https://thestack.com/security/2015/09/21/facebook-dislike-hype-exploited-in-phishing-campaign/
A new Facebook scam is quickly spreading across the
social network which plays on the announcement of the
highly-anticipated 'Dislike' button. Facebook CEO Mark
Zuckerberg discussed the proposed feature in an interview last
week, confirming that there would be a public launch "very"
soon. The social media giant has long considered adding a
dislike or 'empathise' button for posts that may contain sad
news, to avoid inappropriate 'liking'. A new scamming campaign
is now exploiting impatient Facebook users anxiously awaiting
the dislike button addition, by tricking them into believing
that they can click on a link to gain early access to the
feature.
