Symantec: Pinterest scam hooks users

Pinterest may have set the media abuzz at an interactive entertainment conference earlier this month, but according to online security firm, Symantec, scammers are also targeting the service to hook unsuspecting users with a survey based scam that could trick the unwary into giving out passwords, financial accounts and other sensitive details as well as installing malware on their PCs.

According to John McDonald, the Operations Manager of the Symantec Security Response team, the scam works by placing links in forums, article comment sections and on social networks to entice the unsuspecting to complete surveys by promising items such as gift cards or big ticket electronics.

If an unsuspecting user clicks on a scam image they're typically taken to an external website which states that in order to take advantage of the offer, they must first re-pin it onto their Pinterest board.

Doing so helps spread the scam to the wider Pinterest community, increasing its credibility as the offer is posted by a trusted and known source. When the source's followers do the same, the scam turns into a self-perpetuating cycle.

After a user re-pins the scam, they are asked to click on another link. This then redirects them to a survey scam page and asks them to fill in surveys, sign-up for subscription services, reveal personal information, or even install unwanted executables and malware that could compromise the security of their PC.

As long as the user fills out multiple marketing surveys, their rewards appear legitimate.

This is not a new ploy by scammers, with similar schemes being used on Facebook.

Security experts say that users can protect themselves in a couple of different ways, first by using an internet security package, and educating themselves (and others) against such scams.

According to McDonald being scam aware is reasonably straightforward; "don't click on links or attachments, especially shortened URLs, and don't give out personal or financial information online. A reputable company will never ask you to divulge sensitive information via an email or text message. Educate your children about online safety and encourage them to report anything suspicious. "

McDonald also adds that "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is".

Online scams are the third most prevelant type of cybercrime in New Zealand, according to figures from Norton Cybercrime Report, only out-numbered by computer viruses and social network profile hacking.

From the scammer end of the equation, the motivations for their dodgy activities are fairly straightforward.

According to Symantec, some of the Pinterest scams they've analysed lead to a cost-per-action based network. For each successful conversion, the scammer is expected to make between one and US$64. It is possible in theory that scammers could be earning anything up to a several hundred dollars per day.

Sadly, cybercriminals tend to go where the masses go, when the next big thing hits, scammers tend to hot on the heels of whatever it is.  Social media and mobile are the current hotspots but McDonald adds that "With the emergence of smartphones we're starting to see cybercriminals target mobile devices far more than ever before. According to the latest Norton Cybercrime Report, 8 percent of Kiwis have been a victim of cybercrime via their mobile phone".

Symantec recommend that users review their Pinterest boards and remove pins related to scam surveys.
