If you're using Facebook on your Android smartphone, you should be just as careful clicking on links as you would (hopefully) be on a desktop computer.
A few days ago I received a Facebook friend request and, as is usual, used my Android smartphone to check out the details of the person before I decided whether I wanted to become "friends" or not.
As the following video demonstrates, a link on the user's Facebook profile redirected my browser to a webpage that installed malware directly onto my Android mobile phone - without any warning or request for authorisation.
