'Is that you' Facebook Virus

'Is that you' Facebook Virus is a social media scheme that may alter the text it uses slightly to reach you – it also may be called 'hahaha' Facebook Virus or 'its you' Facebook Virus. The tactic is meant to trick you into clicking a link that will take you to a fake site that may ask you to enter personal details or even your Facebook account login credentials. The 'Is that you' Facebook Virus usually targets its victims randomly – this happens by publishing fake posts, and comments with the text 'is that you' and the thumbnail of a blurred adult video. This might mislead some users into thinking that pornographic content of them is available online, and they are most likely to want to take it down as soon as possible.

The outcome of the 'Is that you' Facebook Virus may vary a lot – sometimes users are asked to download a potentially threatening piece of software, and in other cases, they may land on a phishing page that tries to get them to enter their account credentia. Users also might be taken to the authorization page of a bogus Facebook application that asks for permissions to post on their behalf – if the application receives this permission, it may proceed to post the 'Is that you' Facebook Virus messages on your profile, and send it to your Facebook friends.

This is a very popular tactic that targets Facebook users, and you should remember its traits so you can be aware of it in the future. If an unknown Facebook page, comment, or message tries to tell you that you are featured in a random video, then you should know that this is most likely a hoax attempt. If your friends have sent you such a message, then it is likely that they have fallen victim to the 'Is that you' Facebook Virus, and you should let them know that they need to try and have it fixed.
