Facebook FB -0.29% launched a new “like” button last month and users have been more engaged with posts since it launched. But the problem with “liking” too much content is that Facebook users are often duped into promoting malicious information, especially if the messages appear to be positive. Malicious content is able to spread on Facebook through a process known as “like-farming.”
How are scammers exploiting “like-farming?” Scammers post positive stories on Facebook to garner a large number of “likes” and “shares.” And the more engagement a post receives, the higher it will appear at the top of the News Feed — which is how the scam gets a lot of attention. When the scammer posts a story, it appears harmless. Sometimes the post shows someone that is going through a hard time and there is a request to share the story. But the person appearing in the post photo usually does not know that it is being used by the scammer.
Once a certain threshold is met, the scammer will completely change the post or Facebook Page into products that receive commissions or request credit card numbers. “They may also sell the page and information that was collected from the ‘likes’ with a more direct threat of gaining access in an attempt to gather credit card numbers that may be stored for certain Facebook apps, passwords or other personal information,” said the Better Business Bureau in a new release last year. “New pages created from gathered data may be used to spread malicious software to compromise data or spread malware. The best approach is to think before you like.
