When You are using Facebook, Many of the post is appear in your Facebook Timeline..but Many of them Malware designed by Cyber criminals. Most of these posts are potential threats that may expose sensitive information which may be stored in our Facebook profiles.
Potential malware can be steal your personal information..
Now how to know which posts are to be avoided?
Some of the security software company like ESET, Slovakian has listed five social Post that Facebook User Should Never Click On..
So these are the five type post that Facebook user should not click on .....
The post which begs for ‘Likes’
Never "like" posts which ask for more likes for some sort of a social cause. It is better to go to your Facebook’s Activity Log in the new Graph Search and ensure that you haven't "Liked" any companies, products or sites that you don't want the world to know about.
Diet posts
Often our timeline is flooded with posts that offer great dieting tips or ‘Amazing weight loss’ programmes. Scammers often hawk "diets offering weight loss". So better to stay away from posts promising amazing diets or slimming programmes on Facebook.
Unknown news sources
On internet, unknown spells danger. Same is on Facebook. Abstain from clicking on posts from news outlets you have not heard about. Cybercriminals often send out bogus news links to blend in with the flurry of "real" news.
Breaking news
The links which appear to be breaking a global news story too are best to be stayed away from. These links may often appear in our Facebook feed as suggested posts. It is best to avoid them as they can inadverantly lead to downloading of malware.
Gift cards
Gift cards offering free samples or gifts is one of the fastest spreading online scams. It was recently seen on on picture-sharing network Pinterest, where a stage of getting that "free gift" is, inevitably, to share the post with all your friends. Users don’t get any free gifts, but instead, end up giving their personal details or downloading malware which steals sensitive personal information.
