Security researchers at the Sophos warn of a new clickjacking spam spreading on Facebook.
The latest Facebook spam lures victims with a video of “Cheerleaders gone wild.” Victim’s accounts were posting messages that read “Cheerleaders gone wild – have to see this” with a photo of a cheerleader carrying pom poms.
Clicking on the link will bring out a legit-looking adult content warning prompt, asking you to confirm that you are 18 years old or older to proceed.

Proceeding forward brings up a new dialog that ask users to click three buttons with numbers 1, 2 and 3 in specific order, which according to spammers is to make out bots from humans.
Clicking the three numbers actually clickjacks users into ‘liking’ three things according to Graham Cluley.
- ‘Cheerleaders gone wild’ video, which will get communicated to your friends and families through newsfeed.
- ‘Funniest Video On the Web’ Page.
- ‘Free ringtones every day’ Page.
So, it’s time to avoid cheerleaders videos on Facebook until this new spammed gets erased. Oh, btw the video that one will get to see after all the troubles can be watched directly on YouTube which contains nothing but just a bunch of Cheerleaders doing their thing 
If you have already watched the video, Congrats! Just don’t forget to check your list of ’liked’ pages and remove the said pages. Also, remove any links of the video from your wall and newsfeed and save your friends from going through all the troubles and getting clickjacked.
