Devoted Twilight Saga fans have been under attack by hackers on social networking site Face book.
Scammers are pretending to link to a game that supposedly promotes the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn which stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. However, the link is really a scam which is activated when users click the ‘Play now’ button.
Once clicked, users are snap jacked and a post appears on their Face book wall announce that they ‘Like’ the link. This income that the scam has extend virally across the site.Users are then obtainable with a dialogue box which asks them to grant authorization for a third party request to access their Face book account and post messages and updates etc on it. 
According to IT Web, Brett Myroff, CEO of regional Sophos distributor, Sophos South Africa said: “Twilight fans might quite perhaps grant permission without thinking. The only problem is that this isn’t a legitimate application request, but a rogue submission that wants to make money out of users’ devotion to the series of novels.
“Unsurprisingly, having gained the ability to post to your Face book account, the scammers then present an online review that earns them affiliate commission for each person who completes the questionnaire. If Face book users have been exaggerated by this scam, they ought to clean up their account before any further damage is done.”
