Catalin Cosoi, Bitdefender's (anti-virus company) Chief Security Strategist, asserted that the comments were automatically posted by users infected with the malware and as is the case with many Facebook scams, victims ended up as marketers for cyber-crooks.
Cosoi added that when users clicked on the malicious links, they were redirected to a 'salacious' YouTube copycat and future victims were then asked to update their Flash Player to the latest secured version of Video Player, as an error allegedly prevents them from watching the leaked videos of Watson.
