There’s currently a big scam running on Facebook and a lot of accounts are being compromised. If you receive an email like check ponbon.im, check 121.im or check 151.im, just delete the email and DO NOT click the link, because it may compromise your account too.
Be advised that those websites aren’t the only ones that can infect your computer and there might be many more on FaceBook and other social networks, so always take care what links you’re visiting.
More than 20,000 pieces of malware attacked social networks in 2008 alone, estimates the online-security firm Kaspersky Lab. That’s no surprise, either: While e-mail is still the most spam-filled medium, researchers suspect that social network cybercrime is growing at a far faster rate.
The advice to avoid having your account compromised remains the same: make sure you run an up-to-date virus scanner, keep your OS updated, make sure you’re running the latest version of your web browser and do not enter your social networking passwords on third party sites.
