That’s it!

Once you have finished the steps, you can visit your Joomla Page without error.

Thanks for visiting this thread, hope it helps you!

Jean Rasczak once said when he arrived on Planet P after it has been bombed “All right. SPREAD OUT! Fire Teams, you see a bug hole, NUKE IT!”

Well this is basically what we are doing, if malwares keep on spreading, MSWEB Network, the Philippines Best Web Hosting Provider keeps our users aware by exposing threats online… and again on Facebook!

Naked Security reports about the latest variation seen of a viral scam that poses as a video of the killing of Osama bin Laden:

OSAMA KILLING REAL VIDEO LEAKEDOMG! real video of Osama Bin Laden being killed. Video leaked by wikileaks. Watch it before it get deleted.

The message is linked at first glance on Youtube, but after a closer look it actually points to a website similarly named to the most popular video sharing site. Looking further it has a domain extension ending in “.in” which is an indian extension.

Clicker happy folks would end up taken to a third party webpage which poses as a security verification check which pretends to be from YouTube.

If it’s really from Youtube there will be no questions asked just to view videos.

According to Naked Security “But what’s happening here is that when you submit the so-called CAPTCHA text you are unwittingly publishing the message to your own Facebook wall. This spreads the message virally to your Facebook friends, and helps spread the scam further on behalf of the bad guys.

The scammers make their money by tricking you into taking an online survey. They earn commission for each person they managed to complete it, and you might be the sort of person who is tempted to answer the questionnaire in the belief that you’ll get to see a video of the Osama bin Laden being killed.”

Ok guys, just remember that the real Youtube would never ask you to complete an online survey before watching a video, and that scams like this are rife across Facebook. As long as Facebook users keep falling for scams like this, they’ll carry on being a problem.

I constantly get a lot of this request on FB, even asking if this is true? Here is the real score on this scam.

According to security expert blog Naked Security from Sophos: “Remember, this scam doesn’t work as the result of clickjacking, or a vulnerability on Facebook. The scammers are achieving their ends because of human gullibility – pure and simple. If people considered what they were doing and thought twice about the possible consequences then we would see nothing like as many of these attacks occurring, and our news feeds on Facebook would see less spam.”
