Facebook Beware: "Snake" Malware Slithers in Through Messages

Here's the scoop on a nasty new trick making the rounds on Facebook. Malicious actors are using messages to spread a Python-based information stealer called "Snake." This snake isn't here to charm you - it's designed to snatch your login details and other sensitive data.

The scam works like this: you receive a message, likely containing a seemingly harmless RAR or ZIP archive. If you open it, you trigger a download sequence that infects your device with Snake. The malware then scrapes your web browsers for goodies, including passwords and cookies.

Researchers believe this attack may be Vietnamese-linked, as the malware targets the Vietnamese Cốc Cốc browser and code snippets contain Vietnamese references. Stolen information is then zipped up and sent off to the bad guys, potentially via Telegram. Facebook cookies are a prime target, suggesting hijacking accounts might be the ultimate goal.

This isn't the first Facebook info-stealing rodeo. The past year has seen similar malware like S1deload Stealer and VietCredCare wreak havoc. This news comes amidst criticism of Meta (Facebook's parent company) for not doing enough to help hacked users.

Be sure to stay vigilant on Facebook! Don't open suspicious attachments, and be cautious of messages from unknown senders.

Did you know? 🤔 

The first known computer virus, called the Creeper Virus, wasn't malicious. Created in 1971 by Robert Thomas, it was a harmless program designed to spread itself across a network of interconnected computers, simply printing a message that said "I'm a creeper, catch me if you can." This early prank, however, highlighted the potential for viruses to spread and disrupt computer systems, paving the way for the development of cybersecurity measures.
