Be aware of facebook apps
Facebook is awesome site to spent time wasting (just kidding ) . People love to stay connected with others. Hackers always have an eye on attacking people and get confidential information. Remember Koobface worm in December 2008 . There are many Apps that may affect your Computer. Although Facebook security team is always fighting against them , some of them goes off their eyes too.
This is an APP that which was available in many of my friends wall and also mine. This app recommends to do three steps in order to see the Hidden msg in Google . First one is to click the Like button and then to Click share by posting on friends wall.

(sorry for blur image , i had saved in GIF format )
After completing step 2, it redirects to a similar site with Facebook design . Many of them don’t even know that landing page is not Facebook. Then it will say to complete some task to verify that you are a HUMAN . This is actually a CPA (cost-per-action) . It will make owner to earn when some completes the offer.
The special thing about it is , most of the offer you need to complete are by installing toolbar/ softwares . I search for the name in google and found these are Spyware and malware . After all the steps , you will realize it is a fake one. Always be aware of what links you are clicking ?
If you were affected by any apps, then remove the Apps from your profile by visiting the Application Setting page and also Change the facebook password . Also Check How to secure your facebook account post.
There were , are , will be threats always. So always be aware !
