IBM recently discovered a configuration of the Citadel malware that targets Facebook users with a fake request for donations to childrens charities in order to steal credit card data. The malware is configured to deliver the targeted attack based on the user’s country and language settings with webinjection pages in five different languages: English, Italian, Spanish, German and Dutch. In the English-language version of this attack, users are asked to make a $1 donation for Haitian children living in poverty.
