WARNING: Facebook Malware Poses As Steve Jobs RIP

Beware: Amid the ubiquitous posts by users mourning the death of Steve Jobs, some of the postings about the founder of Apple lead to malware. Free iPad scams have also returned to the site.

The tragic death of one of the greatest modern innovators, Steve Jobs, has inspired what seems like a record number of eulogy postings on Facebook. Unfortunately, on the other side of the coin, they are also being exploited by heartless scammers.

Jobs is largely responsible for such natty devices such as iPods, iPhones, iPads, and iTunes, and a scam posting circulating today claimed that 50 free iPads were being made available in memory of the deceased Apple-growing hero.
