Protect Your Facebook Feed From Hackers With A University of California-Designed App

Have you ever clicked on suspiciously salacious videos or links from your Facebook friends, only to find out that it leads you to a website full of naughty images and pop-up windows? Chances are, your friend wasn't posting porn intentionally; their account was hacked and posting links to websites filled with viruses that then infect your computer, ransack your Facebook account, and perpetuate the viral machine. To protect users, engineers at the University of California, Riverside have created an app that flags hacker-induced posts. After analyzing a massive dataset of 40 million posts from 12,000 users who installed the app, MyPageKeeper was found to correctly identify 97 percent of malicious posts.
