The Facebook names of some Nigerian scammers have been exposed on a US blog, and the boys ain't even know it. Lol. US security blog Krebsonsecurity.com, published links to the real Facebook profiles of Nigerians allegedly involved in 'Yahoo' business....and if you check their profiles, the guys are balling, pictures taken with jewelries, exotic cars etc...from Nigeria to Turkey to Malaysia! But the funniest part of all this is that these boys don't even know that their names have been exposed. See the report from Krebs on Security below...
A crude but effective online service that lets users deploy keystroke logging malware and then view the stolen data remotely was hacked recently. The information leaked from that service has revealed a network of several thousand Nigerian email scammers and offers a fascinating glimpse into an entire underground economy that is seldom explored.
The site was so poorly locked down that it also exposed the keylog records that customers kept on the service. Logs were indexed and archived each month, and most customers used the service to keep tabs on multiple computers in several countries. A closer look at the logs revealed that a huge number of the users appear to be Nigerian 419 scammers using computers with Internet addresses in Nigeria.It's a pretty long write up, so read it after the cut. The video showing the alleged 'Yahoo Boys' is also after the break....
