A new Facebook scam is on the rise. Facebook users are receiving phishing emails that claim to provide steps on how to hack the account of any Facebook user. The steps may look benign to a normal user, but their main purpose is to fool the victim into running a malicious code on their system. Once the code is run, a hacker can gain complete control of the victim\u2019s Facebook account. And once the account is hijacked, it can be used for online scams, fraud, and spreading the same to others. This kind of attack is known as Self-XSS. You can read more about this on Facebook\u2019s help page,<\/a> and alert your friends about it.<\/p>\n Cases of Android Ransomware Attackers are on the Rise<\/strong><\/p>\n It is being predicted that incidents in attacks of Android ransomware are going to increase. Just recently, the Android ransomware Simplocker was discovered. Once it infects the victim\u2019s device, it starts encrypting data on the SD card, and demands ransom to decrypt the data. One variant of this ransomware locks the device, warning that the user has been viewing child pornography; it demands ransom for the user to be able to use the device again. It is wise to get a reputed mobile security solution for your Android device, and combine it with safety measures such as installing apps only from official sources.<\/p>\n![\"Facebook](\"https:\/\/blogs.quickheal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Facebook-self-xss.png\")
