Rihanna and Hayden Panettiere!!! Private Lesbian HOT Sex Tape stolen from home archive of Rihanna!


 

For those who don’t go after such things, Hayden Panettiere played the division of the cheerleader in the sci-fi TV show “Heroes”, and Rihanna is a pop star famous for her umbrella-ella-ella.

Not that you’ll get to see much proof of that if you click on the link as – on Apple Macs at slightest – you may find yourself ending up on a webpage which tries to contaminate you with malware in the form of a fake anti-virus attack.

 

 

Has a personal lesbian hot sex tape really been stolen from the home archive of Rihanna? for myself I think it’s improbable, but it’s amazing what people will consider these days (and indeed, what celebrities will get up to) so it’s no speculate that some folks might click on the link.

 

Lady Gaga Fell into Twitter Scam

If you observe any posts on Twitter with a link to a “Banned Lady Gaga Video,” anything you do, DO NOT CLICKS ON IT. The Face book Scam Spam trend is dispersal across Twitter claiming the Twitter queen herself Lady Gaga.

The tweets are spreading through a rogue request that thousands of Twitter users have linked with. The tweet promises a link to a “banned” Lady Gaga video, which any true Monster knows does not exist. Once you click on the bit.ly link, you are taken to a fake YouTube page and when you click the play push button a box pops up asking you to funding permission to a third-party app to access your Twitter account. Don’t do it! If you do, the third-party app will have access to your account and be able to send tweets to all of your followers.

Though Lady Gaga fell for the scam she has managed to delete all the unsanctioned tweets. However, Sophos tracked the tweets down. Here’s what was tweeted:

 

“TAROT de shakira [LINK] clarividente de @shakira #horoscopo ganar dinero navegando.”

 

“VIDEO PROHIBIDO LADY GAGA @lady gaga [LINK] ganar dinero navegando.”

 

Lady Gaga issued a Twitter caution to whoever is at the back the app, threatening to unleash her Little Monsters on them. But it looks like the damage was already done. Fooling Lady Gaga is a huge coo for the rogue app considering Lady Gaga has 9.6 million followers, making her the most followed Twitter feed in the world at the time of this writing. With that kind of influence, you can only visualize how many victims this app has already claimed.

Was Kim Kardashian Twitter hacked or distress manipulates difficulty?

One of the huge stuff about being British is that I have almost no idea who Kim Kardashian might be. It turns out that many Americans aren’t fairly sure why she’s famous either. In fact, I forever consideration the Kardashians were an alien race in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

 

 

Though, according to the wonder of Wikipedia, I now know that Kim Kardashian is a model and realism TV star who rose to disrepute after she appear in a sex tape. In fact, she’s so famous that she has in excess of six million followers on Twitter.

The past, Kim Kardashian posted a message on Twitter claiming that she had been hacked. Here’s what she tweeted to her a lot of millions of followers:

 

 

Twitters please help me get my password back! How is it that I can tweet from my cell but my home computer says wrong password! #HACKED

Kim’s equally media-friendly sister Kourtney Kardashian also posted about the incident:

Positively, if Kim Kardashian had had her Twitter account hacked she wouldn’t be the first celebrity to have had problems in that area. Famous figures that have fallen victim to a Twitter hack in the past include Lil Wayne, Axl Rose, Britney Spears and plumy-voiced British TV property crumpet Kirsty Allsopp.

 

 

Even publications like the New York Times and humorous phenomenon ShitMyDadSays have fallen foul of hackers on Twitter. But was Kim Kardashian really hacked on Twitter as she claimed and thousands of her followers and celebrity chums retweeted?

It seems possible that she was mistaken. Her mobile phone still allowed her to post messages – including the one that claimed she had been hacked – even though she claimed she was unable to log in via Twitter.com.Is it possible that Miss Kardashian’s long fingernails caused her a little trouble entering her password, or that she’d simply forgotten what her password was, rather than her Twitter account had been hacked?

 

 

A few hours later, Kim Kardashian tweeted that normal service had resumed for her on Twitter:

My money is on user error rather than a genuine hack. After all, no abuse of her account appeared to occur – and the typical intruder would have found it impossible to resist posting a joke message or spammy link during the time when her account was allegedly “hacked“.But if it was true that both her Twitter and email address were hacked, you would expect the contact details and email addresses of many celebrities to now be in the hands of hackers.

Lindsay Lohan Fake Death News

An additional celebrity to connect the “greatly exaggerated” death rumors list is “Herbie: Fully Loaded” actor Lindsay Lohan. Yesterday, the information site and encyclopedia Wikipedia page of Lindsay Lohan abruptly read the death date of the actress as July 14, 2010. The exposure of such news in one of the trusted sources surprised Lindsay Lohan fans and set the whole internet abuzz with rumors. The Lindsay Lohan fans were penetrating for the answers concerning the authenticity of the news.

 

 

The Wikipedia page of Lindsay Lohan read that the actress was active in entertainment from 1996 to 2010 and did not specify the cause of her death. The rumor was increase by one of the users who edit the supposed page of Wikipedia. The Wikipedia officials said that yesterday morning about 3 1/2 hours the Lindsay Lohan page was edited by the users and the officials blocked one of the users from editing the articles as the user’s account was being used only for “vandalism”. However, later the officials of Wikipedia distorted the details.

 

A celebrity blog reported that as there was no authentic update about the “Mean Girls” actress’ death, it was proved to be a rumor, a prank played by someone. The rumor of Lindsay Lohan’s death spread as a wild fire and in other social networking sites also users commented about her death. Even on the reputed web portals, video tribute for the troubled actress began appearing.

Another website reported that Lindsay Lohan died of drug overdose which is absolutely not true. The celebrities along with their fame earn their haters who try to harm their reputation by spreading these kinds of malicious rumors which are not only derogatory, but also condemnable.

 

Depiction of teenage brain box Emma Watson Death Scam

Emma Watson, known around the world for her depiction of teenage brain box Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies, has become the unsuspecting star of an internet hoax that is being spread rapidly across the internet.

The bogus reports declare that the actress has died in a drunken car crash.

 

 

 

Here is a typical report:

On July 24, 2009, Watson was en route to her mansion in Oxfordshire, England. Police footage captured her driving with speeds up to 80 miles per hour on very narrow roads. Oxfordshire paramedics received a 999 call at 12:22 p.m. (GMT), about an sport car having crashed into a wall at a petrol station.

At this point it was still unknown that the victim was indeed Emma Watson. Three minutes after the call got through, paramedics arrived at Watson’s location.

She was reportedly not breathing and the car was total loss. After 5 minutes the Oxfordshire Fire Department managed to get Watson out of her car. Resuscitation efforts continued en route to the Oxfordshire’s Medical Center, and for an hour after arriving there at 1:45 p.m. (GMT). She was pronounced dead at 2:10 p.m. (GMT).

 


Another version of the story reads:

Los Angeles, CA- Millions are in shock after Emma Watson died overnight in a car crash. The 19 year-old actress, most famous for her roles in the Harry Potter films, was killed while being driven back to hotel after a screening of her latest movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, when a car collided with her vehicle. Watson is reported to have died at the scene. Her relatives have so far refused to comment, only quoting that they are “˜too distraught’ to speak with the media. Police are questioning witnesses about two men who reportedly fled the scene following the crash.

The two men are said to be in their early twenties, one Caucasian and the other Hispanic. Anyone with information is urged to contact the authorities immediately.

Unhappily a lot of people seem to be forwarding or reposting the “news”, without scrutiny a credible news site. Don’t you think that if it was true it would be on the front page of BBC News Online? I would advise you keep away from clicking on links to “news” stories about Emma Watson’s death, as it is probable whoever is behind this hoax has spiteful intention.

Of course, Emma Watson is far from the first celebrity to have had fake reports of her death circulated via the internet. Recently, bogus news stories increase that Jeff Goldblum had fallen to his death while filming – bizarrely from the very same cliff that previously claimed Tom Cruise’s life!

Bare celebrity on LinkedIn direct to malware

A blog post by our friends at Trend Micro wedged my eye this morning, and got some of the guys within SophosLabs looking a small quicker at some of the profiles listed on the business networking site, LinkedIn. It’s astounding how many people signed-up on LinkedIn have words like “nude” and “naked” in their job title. It’s probable that some of these are genuine (for instance, the person who claims to be the Chief Nude Parachutist at a New York-based company), but many of them are not.

 

For example, I think it’s very improbable that Paris Hilton works for a firm called “company B”, and that she would want to post links claiming to be of her notorious sex video. Another celebrity who has fallen foul of a private home movie becoming public is Kim Kardashian. It seems that the hackers who have peppered LinkedIn with false profiles also believe that people will be probing for videos of her, and so they have created a page for her too.

 

 

Other names (of various levels of fame) with fake profiles on LinkedIn include Jaime Pressly, Christina Aguilera, Keri Russell, Zooey Deschanel, Lizzy Caplan, Brooke Hogan and Tila Tequila. Some of the links contained in these profiles are currently down, but SophosLabs can confirm that as recently as January 1st 2009 the malicious Troj/Decdec-A JavaScript code was being found on them, downloading further malware onto visiting computers.

 

 

It’s a shame that LinkedIn aren’t keeping a closer eye on clearly bogus profiles being shaped on their site. Certainly spammers, malware authors and other cybercriminals may be abusing the system to link to their WebPages in the hope that it will produce a higher ranking in search engines like Google.

‘Sex video’ Of Fiona Xie? You’ve been scammed

A new thread of scams on social networking site Face book has claimed its newest victim in former MediaCorp artiste Fiona Xie.

The scams, which appear more than a few days ago, lures Face book users into ‘Liking‘ a link to a page talented sex videos of the voluptuous 29-year-old. The link features a thumbnail of Xie sitting suggestively in a bathtub along with the tagline “Fiona Xie. Is she REALLY as innocent as she looks?”

 

 

Clicking on the link though leads to a survey. According to Graham Cluley, a senior technology advisor at online security firm Sophos, this is an ordinary hacking technique known as ‘click jacking‘ in which the scam artist pockets a sum for every survey finished.

By fooling the victim into innocently ‘Liking‘ the page, “chances are that you (the user) will be uncomfortable that your friends now know you were seeking for sex videos of Fiona Xie,” said Mr Cluley in a blog post.

 

 

The Xie scam is supposed to be the first of its kind involving a local celebrity. Similar ones responsibility the rounds on Face book feature Hollywood stars Justin Bieber and Rihanna individually with the tagline “People totally lost their respect for (the star’s name) after watching this Sick Video”.

Ms Xie, formerly one of Caldecott Hill’s popular ‘Seven Princesses’ and ranked by men’s magazine FHM as one of the 20 sexiest women in the world in 2009, left for Hong Kong in the same year after quitting MediaCorp for unspecified personal reasons. She could not be reached for comment for this story.

Fake Death Hoax of Kanye West

In spite of what you may have read online, Kanye West did not die in a car disaster. The rapper is just the latest celebrity to be bite by fake death rumors, which rapidly spread on Twitter. At press time, it was unknown where the rumor in progress, but some were pointing to the image board 4chan.org as the source of the phony report that West had died in a crash involving two custom cars in Los Angeles.

 

 

It quickly blossomed into e-mail chains and comment threads on Face book and Twitter. Computer security blog Sophos.com track the origins of the scam; tie it to hackers who worn the rumor to push the false reports to the top of Internet search engine results. By Wednesday morning (October 21), “Kanye West died” (and variations of the phrase) was one of the most-searched topics on Google Trends. At the same time as a spokesperson for West could not be reach for comment at press time, the rapper’s girlfriend, model Amber Rose, tweeted, “This ‘RIP Kanye West’ topic is not funny and it’s NOT TRUE! He has people like me and his family that love him very much. …

 

 

It’s in extreme poor taste to have that as a trendy topic. It’s totally disrespectful to make up a story like this we’re all human … and we all make mistake and to say an important person died cuz of a mistake is ridiculous. You wouldn’t want somebody to say that about you.” The fake news story claims that “a bizarre car crash in Los Angeles concerning two luxury cars early this morning  rapper Kanye West dead, a second injured, a third arrested for gross vehicular manslaughter and a fourth person was detained by police. A Los Angeles Police Department officer witness the wreck and saw a red Ferrari and a white Porsche ‘spinning out of control’ on Jamboree Road between Bison Avenue and East Bluff Drive.”

 

 

The story goes on to provide a seemingly detailed account of the wreckage and injuries, complete with quotes from an LAPD lieutenant on the scene. It’s probable that it was timed to exploit the attention West got earlier this week when the bizarre short film called “We Were Once a Fairytale” he created with “Where the Wild Things Are” director Spike Jonze, was briefly posted on West’s blog, then taken down with no explanation. The fake death reports are just the latest to spread like viral wildfire this year, following on the heels of similar rumors about celebrities Jeff Goldblum, Matt Damon, Natalie Portman, Emma Watson, Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne and Miley Cyrus.

Osama bin Laden leaked video scam on Face book rises yet again

An original version of the variety of Face book scams we have seen since the bereavement of Osama bin Laden has emerged. Naked Security reader Sampath send us a tip-off about the newest dissimilarity he had seen of a viral scam that poses as a video of the killing of Osama bin Laden:

 

OSAMA KILLING REAL VIDEO LEAKED

OMG! Real video of Osama Bin laden being killed. Video leaked by wiki leaks. Watch it before it gets deleted.

 

A link in the message may, at first look, emerge to point to the YouTube website but in detail points to a similar-looking Indian domain name ending in “.in”. If you make the fault of clicking on the link you are taken to a third-party webpage, which poses as a security confirmation check from YouTube.

 

 

Rather why anybody would imagine that typing in the words “real video” is any form of security verification is further than me.

But what’s occurrence here is that when you submit the so-called CAPTCHA text you are without knowing publish the message to your own Face book wall. This spreads the message virally to your Face book friends, and helps spread the scam additional on behalf of the bad guys.

 

 

The scammers create their money by tricking you into taking an online survey. They earn charge for each person they manage to complete it, and you might be the sort of person who is tempted to answer the survey in the belief that you’ll get to see a video of the Osama bin Laden being killed.

Keep in mind – the real YouTube would never ask you to complete an online survey before watching a video, and that scams like this are rife across Face book. As long as Face book users keep falling for scams like this, they’ll carry on being a problem.

 

 

At the time of script this latest iteration of the Osama bin Laden Face book scam appear to have been eradicated. But I wonder how long before a new variant arises?
