Cilla scam

Avatar Eric Jervis
My daughter on her MacBook running Snow Leopard was watching a Cilla Black video on Facebook. When the video ended there was apparently a link to another Cilla video, but when she clicked on it a page came up which said that Cheshire Police knew she had been watching porn, and invited her to click on a link to purchase something. She could not get rid of this page, even by force quitting so she shut down the computer. When she restarted it there were no obvious problems. Is it likely that she has downloaded a virus?

Probably not a virus, but an attempted phishing scam. Your daughter did the right thing by not responding.

Thank you Lionel, I thought that but it's nice to have it confirmed by a top man.
