Justin Bieber As Facebook Scam

Oops! Selena and Bieber's hidden camera bedroom video Facebook scam


Oops indeed. At least if you were one of the Facebook users who believed that a hidden camera video had leaked onto the net of Justin Bieber sharing some intimate moments with his girlfriend Selena Gomez.


Of course, Bieber's typical fans - or those who would delight in his public humiliation by a hungry paparazzi - are probably unlikely to think twice about clicking on a link shared with them by their Facebook friends, claiming to leak to a sex video.

00ps!!! There was a hidden camera in Selena & bieber's bedroom

WOW HaHa it's really so funny ~ Don't Miss it!

If you made the mistake of clicking on the link, you would be taken to a third-party website which urges you to share the video further, amongst your Facebook friends.




                                     




And if you made the mistake of sharing you'll then be presented with an all-too-familiar online survey. This is how the scammers make money, tricking you into driving traffic to online surveys that earn them commission. Using sex videos is not a new technique, and Justin Bieber has had his name used in vain by the scammers on several occasions.


If you were fooled into participating in this scam remove the message from your newsfeed, and delete any messages you may have inadvertently shared with your friends. That way at least you are no longer spreading it with your online chums. You can also report the link as spam - hopefully if enough people do it, Facebook will begin to stop the scam from spreading.

Top 50 passwords

Are you one of the many people who is using a dangerously easy-to-guess password?


Maybe now's the time to fix that before it's too late.


Twitter, LinkedIn, World of Warcraft and Yahoo are amongst the popular websites which are advising users to change their passwords in light of the recent security breach at the Gawker Media family of sites.


The issue is that many people (33% in our research) use the same password on every single website. That means that if your password gets stolen in one place (like Gawker's Gizmodo or Lifehacker websites), it can be used to unlock access to other sites too.


Unfortunately, an analysis of the passwords stolen in the Gawker incident show that many people are choosing very poor passwords, that are easy for intruders to guess:

Things To Do on Facebook

Let’s pretend someone has convinced you to join Facebook. You play along, and at least register for an account. Now what? Whether you’re a business looking to represent yourself inside of Facebook or an individual looking to tap into Facebook for its rich social interactions, here’s a quick list of things to go do.

Put a decent profile picture on there. NOT a professional photo. God, those look like school photos.

Fill out your interests a bit. (I have a hack here: I killed most of the personal info, so that the “Wall” and other apps wasn’t a mile down the page. How do YOU do it?)

Add a few useful apps. I’ve added Flickr, Upcoming, Lijit, Blog Friends, Video, Google Reader, Email Me Instead, and a few more.

Avoid not-so-useful apps (Unless they’re your thing), like zombies, fishbowls, graffiti, etc.

Add friends. Facebook’s nicer if you have people to interact with.

Join a few groups. See if you can contribute.

Update your status message periodically. (This is Facebook’s hint to get you to come back often).

Explore. Why be in a social network if you can’t see what you don’t know?

Relax with a nice game of Scrabulous (Scrabble). You can’t live by work alone, can you?
