Other factor which makes spreading easier is that these spams comes as if its shared by the friends, hence we trust the shared links and open them.
Lets Look at an example of the recent spam which is spreading very fast in Facebook
Look at the url/site name which is shared
Look at the link mentioned in the message above “becauseitdid.c.la” doesn’t look like a genuine website right ?? Yes that correct look for authenticity of such sites. Most of the time these links will be some junk sites, pay attention to it.
Don’t Follow instructions to copy paste JavaScript code
If you couldn’t guess/estimate the url/site name authenticity and clicked on the link pay attention to the further page displayed. Any genuine site will give you the information right away, without asking to click or paste some java script code etc. If the page is asking to do similar activities avoid doing so and close that page.
Javascripts can run on client side machines, which is nothing but your own computers and laptops and based on the coding it can access any sort of information and destroy them. So pay attention to that. Simply avoid executing java scripts.
Identifying Javascripts are simple look at the code which the the site has asked to copy paste, it starts with “javascript” keyword. For that matter avoid executing such instructions whether its javascript or something else.
