In a heartless phishing scheme, malware spammers are exploiting the vanished Malaysia Airlines jetliner to get your personal information.
If you see a Facebook post saying Flight 370 has been found, it's actually a scam. According to Yahoo Tech, some examples of fake headlines include "Malyasian Airlines Finally Found!" or "Video of the Malaysia MH370 Plane Found in Bermuda Triangle!" promising "50 people alive saved!"
If you overlook the false information and the use of exclamation points to click on the link, you'll be asked to share the story with your friends, meaning that the scam spreads to more Facebook feeds.
The post will even say the information came from reputable news sites like CNN or Yahoo News.
After you click, the link will direct you to questionnaires requesting your information, something of high value to marketers. Falling for shoddy clickbait will leave you vulnerable as your sensitive information goes to some mysterious part of the Internet.
The missing flight hasn't yet been found. NASA has joined the search to hunt for the Malaysian jet that went off the radar more than a week ago while carrying 239 people.
Agency officials plan to use satellite data to try to locate the commercial airliner, which vanished soon after takeoff while en route to Beijing.
The Boeing 777-200ER was last heard from when the jet was flying north into the Gulf of Thailand, Malyasian authorities told Reuters.
Some are wondering if the plane was hijacked. Police have been examining the psychological background of the pilots without finding anything that links them to criminal activity, CBS News reported.
Malaysian officials believe the plane was "deliberately diverted" before it fell off the grid, but they still don't know whether or not it was hijacked, according to Reuters.
