Study: Affiliate marketing sites are final destination in three-fourths of all Facebook deceptions. Visitors to these fraudulent Facebook-promoted sites are induced to fill out surveys that generate affiliate payments for the scammers. These exploits fall into three main categories: likejacking, rogue applications, and malware or “self-XSS” Malware or malicious scripts are to blame for the further spread of slightly more than half the analyzed scams, the study says. In 48 percent of the cases, unwitting users are responsible for distributing the undesirable content by clicking on “like” or “share” buttons.”]
