Fake Social Networking Application “Maldives”

So as usual when I was going through my twitter timeline, I came across this interesting story tweeted by @rhipha.

In October 2011, Hackers launched a fake social networking application called “Maldives App”. According to Symentec, It was hosted on a free web hosting domain and the legitimate sites do not provide such as application.

The application contained a image and details about the application along with a web form to include the login credentials. The image contained a ribbon in the tricolors of the Maldivian flag and a Maldivian Flag tShirt.

If you have been a victim of this application, the hacker have successfully stolen your confidential login credentials for theft purpose.
