Facebook Change Color Virus

Since Facebook is one of the biggest social networking platforms in the world, there are a lot of online scams that are related to it. Facebook Change Color Virus is one of them, and this cyber threat manifests itself in a form a message that you supposedly have received from one of your friends. The message offers you to change the default color of your Facebook profile. Since there are several major colors, there is a separate Facebook Change Color Virus for each of them, but the point is that you have to ignore this message, because the default blue color of Facebook is a trademark and it cannot be modified.

Since there are several versions of Facebook Change Color Virus, there are several different types of messages that get delivered to your inbox as well. For example:

Say goodbye to the boring blue profile and say hello to the pink profile!!

Needless to say that if you click the link embedded in the message you will allow the criminals behind this infection to access your own personal account settings, and you will get infected with Facebook Change Color Virus as well.
