Real Ghost Caught on Camera! New Facebook Scams Lure Users to Download Malware

A new horror scam campaign is going viral on Facebook. Malwarebytes has discovered a number of hoaxes making their way around Facebook with paranormal themes. Scammers have targeted Facebook users and encouraging them to open the scammed video. Once clicked, Facebook users are either asked to download or install updates to the video players, but actually these installations will lead to successful malware installation to the users system. Sometimes these scams are very obvious and easily avoidable, but many times they are irresistible and easy to fall for.
