Topic: Beware of the Fake Greetings messages on facebook (Read 270 times)
I've experienced this before (my old Facebook account was hacked because I opened the link in the messenger). every time we have to be aware of new people on social media, especially Facebook.. Facebook is the social media with the largest users and has the most users at age over 40 years old in the world, and people at this age (40 years and over) are very vulnerable to fraud if there are parents or your relatives you should also remind them to not carelessly click the link in the Facebook message.
These sites you listed are not even secured to start with. A web address without s to the domain isn't good to log into because your data isn't secured. For example what I'm saying is this http and https.
https is secured and can be genuine.
https is secured and can be genuine.
Doesn't HTTPS just protect from MITM attacks?
The server still has the data?
If the website is made for phishing, https won't help you.
I think.
If you don't click on links nothing will happen, account users are the one to click on links for the ransomware to gain access, I have countless of mails like this in my email address but I never for once click on them, till date my account is safe
Well, thank goodness I hardly use Facebook and any links I receive are also ignored.
Things to do

I have Received a Message on my messenger with a link on it, it is somelike the second HTTP on the Picture.
What about if I have Reacted on the Message itself with a heart Emoji, does it mean that i'll Be Affected by the virus or not?
