Multi platform malware spreading via Facebook Messenger

New cross-platform malware comes to the victim’s account in the form of a message of his friend. Content of the message — the victim’s name, the word «Video» and link to bit.ly. Link redirect to document which simulates the page with video. When the victim clicks on the fake playable movie, the malware redirects them to another website, which collects information about its browser, operating system and other telemetry. Malware easily adapts to any browser and OS.

Now experts are trying to find out the exact purpose of this operation and ask users not to click on unfamiliar links.
