Facebook now has Dislike button : SPAM


Enable dislike button in facebook: 

All of us use facebook and want a dislike button too for disliking some posts on facebook. Scammers are now using this need as their spam spreading method on facebook. Facebook scammers are tricking users to paste rogue code into their browser's address bars in order to get a Dislike button added to their options. The spam messages posted by victims read "Facebook now has a dislike button! Click Enable Dislike Button' to turn on the new feature!" The scammers replace share link by a message "Enable Dislike Button".

Facebook has not announced any official dislike button and I personally do not think it will be in near future. This is not any service offered by Facebook. There has been more and more attempt to hack facebook and get benefits from its popularity for their private publicity by many hackers. Here the above spam is one of that attempt which facebook still couldn't get over through. It is a spam which runs the javascript to post the spam message to all of your friends wall. Once this script is executed, you will see a number of spam messages posted on the wall.

Facebook security experts are doing their best for preventing spams on facebook, but spams are increasing day by day. I hope people will understand it's danger and use safe facebook. I advice users not to click on any this kind of spams and always enable all security features given by facebook. Plus if you find any suspicious links then please immediately report as virus or mark as spam.






Facebook has witnessed an increased volume of scams that involve malicious javascript, which sends spam from users accounts to their friends’ walls. In addition to the latest security updates, mainly involving Facebook's partnership with Web of Trust to deter malicious links on the site, Facebook is now educating users about how to protect their accounts when they first log on. Facebook is asking people to share the part of the help section that covers malicious script scams. Be aware if you see any of the following messages. 









These messages appear to be showing up mostly among those users who have fallen for the latest hacks. In addition to sharing the message about how to protect yourself, Facebook alerts the user that they have recently fallen for one of the attacks with a new message that appears when they next login.





Happy Sharing and Stop Spamming!!
