Surfer Beware - Koobface Worm Targets Facebook Users

If you're on Facebook, be aware that a fast-spreading worm called
Koobface is targeting users and trying to steal personal information
such as credit card details. The Koobface worm sends a message to the
Facebook user, supposedly from a friend, that says things like "you
look funny in this new video" or "is it u there?" After clicking on
the video link, the user is asked to download the latest version of
Adobe Flash Player. Only after the user clicks on the fraudulent
Flash update is the Koobface worm installed.


This malware can then quickly seize credit card details in two ways -
either by waiting for the user to buy something online and
remembering the details, or by searching the computer for cookies
from past online purchases.

With dozens of Koobface variants known to exist, security leader
McAfee warns that the situation may get worse before it gets better.
Should your PC be infected with the Koobface worm, Facebook suggests
resetting your password and running updated antivirus software to
purge the worm from your system. To learn more about security tips
for Facebook users, go to http://www.facebook.com/security.

It's important to note that Koobface attacked MySpace users before
moving to Facebook, and has also jumped to the social networking site
Bebo. All users of such sites would be well advised to stay alert for
suspicious messages.'
