I've already seen this pop up in my Facebook News Feed because one of my friends clicked on it. If you see something about changing your Facebook color, and see the Facebook logo in red instead of blue, for example, do not click on it.

Warning: Facebook 'Color Change' App is Malicious

Attention all Facebook users: A malicious "color change" app has once again reared its ugly head on the social network, and it's already infected thousands of users.

The nefarious app, dubbed Facebook Color Changer, claims to let you change the color of your Facebook profile—but it's actually a scam, according to Chinese Internet company Cheetah Mobile.

Researchers estimate that the scam has already impacted more than 10,000 people in multiple countries.


"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
