Instagram virus creates fake 'likes' and followers in lucrative marketing scam



A virus typically used to steal credit card information has been repurposed to target Instagram, generating fake "likes" and followers, and selling them online. 

As Reuters reports, these fake "likes" are then sold in batches of 1,000 on online forums, and can fetch surprisingly high prices. According to security firm RSA, 1,000 Instagram followers sell for around $15 online, while 1,000 "likes" selling for $30. The same number of credit card numbers, by comparison, go for as little as $6.

  4. i am bosan mendengar masalah-masalah virus sejak zaman kanak-kanak saya. Malah kehadiran 100 antivirus tidak dapat menyelesaikan masalah ini. Orang yang membuat virus ini sama ada ditangkap atau tidak pernah menjadi punca jika ditangkap maka mereka dengan mudah dibebaskan dari penjara dan kemudian mereka kembali ke dalam ciptaan virus mereka. Ini perlu dihentikan .........
