Dear Friends,
Beaware of this Virus on Facebook.
Social networking website Facebook has asked its users to be aware of a link
that says it is the 'sexiest video ever', warning that the video is
spreading virus on the internet.
'If you get a posting on your Facebook wall telling you 'this is without
doubt the sexiest video ever!' which seems to be accompanied by a video
titled 'Candid Camera Prank [HQ]', then don't click on the video: it's a
lead-in to malware,' the website warned.
'Clicking the link will take you to what seems like a Facebook application
which then tells you that your video player is out of date - and encourages
you to download a file. If you do, then the same 'video' plus link gets
posted using your avatar to all your friends on Facebook -- meaning it is
spreading virally,' it said.
'Judging by the number of messages posted on Facebook, thousands of people
received this attack. If you were one of them, you should scan your computer
with an up-to-date anti-virus, change your passwords, review your Facebook
application settings, and learn not to be so quick as to fall for a simple
social engineering trick like this in future,' Graham Cluley, a senior
technology consultant at anti-virus company Sophos, was quoted by the
Guardian as saying
