New MySpace&Facebook Malware
I decided it best to inform MySpace and/or FaceBook users about a new nasty malware spreading trough messages seeming to come from the users friend. I found this information from another blog, but here’s a quote from there:
The messages look like they contain links to video clips. When clicked on they prompt the recipient to download an executable file that purports to be the latest version of Flash Player. Instead, it is the worm itself, infecting yet another victim.
Go read the whole article from Dan Morrils IT security blog.

Damn… That’s just about the only situation where a user totally trusts the executable. Very clever.
