New Facebook Malware attack

Source of story - The Register

Facebook has again been attacked by a Spamming Malware file, which tells us that the popularity of Facebook is growing very fast.  The Facebook user receives a notification that their account is in violation of Facebook rules.  Their is a link to the violation which then attacks the computer and then posts the same message to all of their friends on Facebook.  The link is listed as “f a c e b o o k - - closing down!!!”.  This is now the second attack in less than a week.

Folks, if you use Facebook you need to use some common sense.  Remember, if you do not know the person ignore it.

There is a lesson to be learned folks. Do not install anything from any site you do not know or recognize.
