My two cents

It is interesting to see the Facebook development in Malaysia. Not sure if he/she is the 1st ever Facebook staff in Malaysia, though.

Currently, Malaysia has over 4 million (and growing) Facebook users, which is about 1% of Facebook active users.

Update: The new position could be working in the Facebook recently acquired 2 employees Malaysian company — Octazen. (thanks to everyone who tipped this!)

Today I received my first ever spam message in my Facebook Inbox from a friend’s Facebook account. Have you received similar spam message before?

The multiple recipients message with a subject line “hey” and the message body is:

You weree sighteed on our seccret ccamera!

http://bit.ly/4EOyWX

The bit.ly short URL redirected to an error page with text

“Traffic Back URL not using.”

Seems like the spam page has been removed. The domain name “bestdatingdirect.com” looks like a dating site. But visit the root domain page, only shows a online contact form.

Although the Facebook spam message does not do any harm to me, but it means that Facebook Inbox messages is no longer spam-proof.

Do NOT follow any website link that you do not know, even if it is sent by your best friend!

The simplest way to check is by sending a reply message and ask your Facebook friend to confirm about the website link sent to you.

Have you received similar spam message in Facebook before? How did you deal with it? Have spammers attacks your Facebook friends? Have Facebook spammer flood your Facebook news feed?

Adobe Photo Uploader for Facebook is a free Adobe AIR application (support multiple OS) to help you upload photos to Facebook and do more than that.

Don’t be fooled by its name, Adobe Photo Uploader does not only “upload photos”. It also shows your Facebook News Feed, allows Facebook Chat, notify you of new events, messages, friend request, and pokes. It IS a Facebook application for desktop!

Great for those Facebook addicted.

Wait! I don’t see Adobe Photo Uploader support Facebook Notifications, which notifies me of new comments made by my friends?! And, the font size is too small… (at least on my 24″ monitor) Click Here to Continue Reading »

I received an email which appears to be sent from Facebook Team and giving me a huge 80% discount on viagra, cialis, etc.

Of course, that’s another spam mail. It cloned the Facebook email’s template and embedded the viagra sales ad. Hey, they even accept credit card online!

The viagra ad links to a e-commerce website with .cn (china) domain, which is registered by a China man. While I am writing this, I tried to “get more info” about their viagra products, the website has gone.

My two cents

Spam mail like this is very obvious. However, if the receiver happens to be interested in buying viagra online, he might be yet another victim.

The spam mail was not sent to my valid facebook email address. They just simply mass seny.

Considering Facebook has more than 250 million active users, I am not surprised that the viagra e-commerce site got some sales (even taken down in a short period).

Disclaimer: I am absolutely sure that I don’t need to buy viagra (yet?).
