Yes,
you heard me right.
A
newly discovered Facebook hacking tool actually has the capability to hack
Facebook account, but YOURS, and not the one you desire to hack.
How to Hack Facebook account? How to Hack my Girlfriends Facebook
account? My boyfriend is cheating on me, How do I hack his Facebook Account?
These
are the queries that most of the Internet users search on Google.
But
Beware! If you come across any Facebook hacking tool that promises you to help
you hack your friends Facebook accounts, you may end up downloading a hacking
tool that could hack you, instead of them.
Facebook Hacking Tool
that Can Really Hack, But Your Accounts
Dubbed Remtasu,
the tool is marketing itself as a Facebook hacking tool but actually is a Windows-based
Trojan that has accelerated globally over the past year, and has
now capability to disguise itself as an app for accessing people's Facebook
account credentials.
The
tool contains a Keylogger that can capture all your keystrokes
and store them in a file that is subsequently sent to the attacker's server.
The
malicious Facebook hacking tool is exploiting "the constant desire
of a lot of users to take control of accounts from this well-known social
network," according to a Monday blog post by IT
security company ESET.
How
Remtasu Works:
The
malicious tool is delivered via direct download websites.
Once a user visits one of these websites, the dangerous Win32/Remtasu.Y malware automatically gets downloaded and executed on victim's machine and hide itself among other files.
Remtasu
has capability to:
·
Open
and obtain information from the clipboard.
·
Capture
keystrokes.
·
Store
all the data in a file which is subsequently sent to an FTP server.
The
worst part is yet to come:
The
malware remains on the infected computer even when the victim reboots their
system or attempts to find the malware threat in the list of active processes.
"In this case, the malware
replicates itself, saving the copy in a folder that it also creates within the
system32 folder," reads the post. "The new InstallDir
folder remains hidden inside the system files, making it difficult for users to
access."
Most affected parts of the
world include Colombia, Turkey, Thailand and elsewhere. In past, Remtasu was
distributed through malicious files attached to phishing emails purporting to
be from legitimate government or businesses organisations.
