Kaspersky Lab has spotted variations of a fake Facebook video attack campaign hosted on Google Chrome Web store. Some versions of the attack, which originated in Turkey, are customized to target Italian users of Facebook. Security expert: “Attacks such as these ones are getting very common” Chrome users should regularly review extensions they’ve installed, as well as the permissions they’ve been granted. Google recently updated Chrome to prevent it from running any extension that wasn’t procured from the Web store, and has begun scanning extensions for signs of maliciousness.”]
