You Tube user please be careful.
Computer security specialists warn that hackers are using fake YouTube pages to trick people into opening their machines to diabolical software.A deceptive YouTube attack evolving as it spreads on the Internet is part of a growing trend of hackers to prowl popular online social networking communities in which people trustingly share web links and mini-programs.
"We are seeing tools like this not just for YouTube, but for MySpace, Facebook, America Online instant messaging ...," Trend Micro software threat research manager Jamz Yaneza told AFP on Thursday.
"All the various social networking sites have been hit with some page or another."
Hackers using the YouTube attack send people links to what are said to be must-see snippets at the Google-owned video-sharing website.
