If you are a Linkedln user, use caution if you see a celebrity profile.
According to McAfee,
A Google search reveals that several hundred fake LinkedIn profiles from nude “Kirsten Dunst” to nude “Hulk Hogan” exist already. The rogue profiles look all alike, with a picture of the celebrity and three links to the parts of the “nude video”.
The linked websites contain obfuscated script code which decodes to a simple browser redirection. This obfuscated script code is proactively detected by McAfee as “Exploit-IFrame.gen.c” already.
when an unsuspecting user gets tricked to follow the lure, he will end up on different malicious websites trying the classical social-engineering tricks of either the “missing video codec” or of showing a fake AV scan and telling that the user his computer was infected with malware and offering a “free” AV scanner software, which in fact is the real threat.
So beware when you access celebrity profiles.
