Tubley.com

Tubley.com is a phishing website that tries to harvest your email account's login information, so that Tubley.com can use your social contact list to send spam messages to your friends, family and coworkers. Your initial contact with Tubley.com will most likely be through one of these spam messages that pretend to be friend requests from acquaintances. However, these fake friend requests are sent out without the consent of the victim and SpywareRemove.com malware experts also note the high probability of these links being loaded down with worms, Trojans and other possible PC threats. Since Tubley.com doesn't have any real social networking features and exists only to harvest private information, it's recommended that you treat any possible Tubley.com contact as an infection route and scan your PC to keep it safe from any newly-installed infections. Changing your email account password will also help to prevent future Tubley.com attacks from using your account.

Don't Be Tubley.com's Next Info Harvest

The Tubley.com website is, by itself, a rather simple affair, and consists only of an account login form and an inevitable error page after you try to log in to the website. Making the mistake of entering your information will not make you anyone's 'friend,' as Tubley.com tries to convince you with Tubley.com's unsolicited email messages, but it will allow Tubley.com to hijack your social contact lists and use them to spam everyone you know.

The immediate course of action that you should take after this event is to change your email account password, to prevent Tubley.com from hijacking your account's information for other attacks. SpywareRemove.com malware research team also notes the importance of using a particularly strong password on this situation, since Tubley.com may also use brute-force methods to break into an account, once the user name has been compromised. For ideal password protection, use a password that's long, contains random characters and uses several numbers. Avoid short, one-word passwords or passwords that could be guessed (for example, '1234' and 'password' are highly inadvisable passwords).

Since exposure to Tubley.com may cause your PC to be attacked by infections that are injected via drive-by-download scripts, you should also scan your computer with an appropriate anti-malware product, ideally in Safe Mode. Although disabling scripts for untrustworthy sites and using an up-to-date browser can help to reduce such vulnerabilities, there is no perfect defense once you've been exposed to a hostile site like Tubley.com.

Burning Up Tubley.com's Bad Email

After acquiring the account information, Tubley.com uses the compromised account's contact list to find new victims for Tubley.com's email spam. SpywareRemove.com malware experts have noted that these email messages are very easy to recognize and contain a stereotypical friend request format. If you receive a Tubley.com email, it's important to let the supposed 'sender' know that their account has been compromised, so that they can take appropriate steps; these spam messages will not show up on the compromised account and the victim may be completely unaware of their existence.

As long as you don't place your trust in Tubley.com and give Tubley.com information or visit the Tubley.com website, all you need to do to keep yourself safe is delete the Tubley.com spam email.
