Most of the time these fake messages are involved in fake scams that ask users to respond to surveys. Recently, I discovered a Facebook wall post with a malicious website address that was unknowingly shared by a friend. Once infected with this spam, the malicious wall post will also tag all the friends of an infected Facebook user.\u00a0 Here is the screenshot of a malicious wall post:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/post2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-23642\" src=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/post2-300x265.png\" alt=\"Sil_wallpost\" width=\"300\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/post2-300x265.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/post2.png 503w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The link from this wall post redirects users to a malicious website that hosts malicious code.
