While many people are worried about the missing Malaysian jet flight MH370, on the other side spammers are posting malware posts in social media to get some shares and views to increase the profit. Post includes a video image that shows a plane which landed on the water surface of the sea as a front picture. When a user clicked on that post it opens up in the next window asking user to share the page first.
Desperate user who wants to see the video unknowingly sharing the page url in his/her timeline proportionally the spammer is getting a share for his page. Social media users must be careful about these kinds of spam posts which are spreading the false news across the web. The hackers are taking advantage of the news of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 to hijack Facebook accounts.
These spammers and hackers are disturbing the curious people by these kinds of posts which say “breaking news Malaysian Airlines Found”. People must be aware when clicking these links as they are redirecting to phishing websites which ask user to share first before they watch.
Search Enters Second Week for Flight MH370
Search for Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 has been going on from more than a week by around ten countries, who are drilling the oceans around Malaysia. Investigators are exploring the growing evidence that Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 involved a criminal act that caused the two communication systems to stop working simultaneously.
Search efforts are more focusing on the west side area of Malay and Indian Ocean. US search teams are filtering the Indian Ocean for the missing flight. Investigators are working on a theory that someone with flight experience took the control of the flight and switched off all the communication devices.
Mr. Najib Razak, Malaysian Prime Minister, says investigators now know that the missing Malaysian airliner’s communications were deliberately disabled and that it turned back from its flight to Beijing and flew across Malaysia. Najib also said that authorities are now trying to trace the airplane across two possible corridors, a northern corridor from the border of Kazakstan and Turkmenistan through to northern Thailand, and a southern corridor from Indonesia to the southern Indian Ocean.
He says that expanded search area is based on the latest available satellite data."Clearly the search for MH370 has entered a new phase. We hope this new information brings us one step closer to finding the plane" he said.
