Scammers are using fake Facebook "dislike" buttons in an attempt to trick unwitting users into handing over money, having malicious code downloaded to their computers, and liking pages, Digiday reports.
Several security blogs claim there has been an influx of ads promoting early access to a Facebook dislike button since CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed the company is responding to requests for a "dislike" option by allowing users to express empathy in an easy way, similar to the like button.
Hackread writes that it hasn't been confirmed that anyone has been infected with malware through the dislike button scam yet, but advises that users "stay away from these malicious links because they won't be providing you with access to the dislike button."
