OMG mother went to jail" Facebook scam spreads virally

Sophos warns users against entering personal information to view pictures and videos

(PresseBox) (Mainz, )
IT security and data protection firm Sophos has produced a video, warning Facebook users about a new scam that is spreading quickly across the social network pretending to be a link to a photograph of a baby boy taken by his mother.

The messages which are being posted on users' Facebook pages read "OMG!! Guys, you have to see this: This mother went to jail for taking this pic of her son!"

Similar to the recent "Never Gonna Drink Coca-Cola Again" scam, the attack encourages users to "like" a Facebook page, tricking them into sharing the link on their wall lqtoqb pgku uid zbot hs ogqjdy fnc ceogc.
