Approximately two weeks ago, Facebook deployed a new security countermeasure to attempt to alert users to the scam tactic known as "likejacking."

Likejacking is a technique in which a spammer creates a website that portrays a fake YouTube-like video player, or other visual lure, and convinces you to click on a button to perform some seemingly normal action, like viewing the video.
