WARNING: 'The President Is Finally Taking Charge!!'

Don't click any news feed or wall posts that talk about the President taking charge.

Whenever we encounter a Facebook security warning, we check to make sure the malady is active before sounding the alarm bell. And that’s how we came to find this oddity: What may well have been a phishing scam when Sophos sounded the alarm now leads to a statistics page at MIT, rather than a page designed to look like the social network — only the new destination appears to disallow us from taking a screenshot of said page.


This seems harmless compared to a phishing scheme, and therefore appears to be a problem solved, unless we’re missing something.
