Beware of Facebook Virus
As reported by BBC News (Click Here for the BBC News article) a virus is spreading through Facebook. It can steel cookies and typed information to obtain passwords/payment details. The BBC article reports that it claims to be a download for Adobe Flash Player, although I would be extremely cautious of any new Facebook application/program download as viruses often change to continue to outwit innocent computer users. It is outrageous that Facebook have allowed this to happen and has been warned of since they opened Facebook to third-party developers. Facebook have acknowledged the problem with advice on what to do if you have the virus on their website (Click Here for Facebook Security.) The BBC reports also that this virus hit MySpace earlier this year.
