Reflected File Download attack to spread 0-Day Worm Over Any Social Networks

A security expert defined a new attack technique dubbed Reflected File Download (RFD) that allows to serve a Zero-Day Worm without possibility of defense. The technique allows attackers to serve at a malware by presenting it as a legitimate link and once downloaded by the victim it is able to gain complete control of the infected machine. Hafif believes its the first cross-social-network worm ever created. Current security measures like antivirus software and firewalls cannot avoid the infection.”]
