UCR and Stopthehacker Unfold New FaceBook Security Service
The initially of its kind malware identification curriculum for Facebook has been developed by UCR researchers and StopTheHacker start-up. This curriculum came up in retaliation to the explosion of spam on Facebook which spreads suspicious links, cheating users by tempting them with free of charge offers or access to previously unknown videos.
MyPageKeeper, on Facebook, is a free curriculum which keeps surveillance on all profiles and is responsible for their safety. All wall-posts, news feeds and links uploaded by users and their friends are consistently monitored. When some suspicious malware is tracked, MyPageKeeper warns the users and allows them to remove that content from their profiles.
“Facebook is the new web. Hackers have realized this, and they have started using it to distribute malware and conduct identity theft”, says Md. Sazaddur Rahman, graduate student at UCR. “Facebook provides a fertile ground to spread malware, since users trust links and posts seemingly from their friends.”
“StopTheHacker is very pleased to partner with UCR in this effort, as it is a natural fit for the company”, says Dr. Anirban Banerjee (PhD UCR), co-founder of StopTheHacker. “StopTheHacker is a wellbeing startup, that spun off from UCR’s Arrangement and Wellbeing lab with the mission to “make the Internet safer one website at a time”, as is their trademark.
This application is being used by scores of public by now. Even though the application is at present in beta mode, it’s giving users a fantastic deal of protection as well as the power to manage the ever increasing Facebook spam and malware.
