New virus spreads on Facebook

Trusteer discovered this week a new Citadel malware which is spreading on Facebook to ask users for a donation to a fake children’s charity, the scam aims at stealing user’s credit card number.

The malware infects the computer and inserts itself into the Facebook session to display a pop up which prompts charity donation and asks for the credit card information when users log into their Facebook accounts.

There are different versions of the scam text depending on the country and language including English, Spanish and German.
