Koobface still spreading
A new variant of the Koobface worm spreading through Facebook leverages social engineering to bolster legitimacy, according to Trend Micro researchers.

But the link leads to a site claiming a codec must be downloaded; click the download and the machine gets infected, enabling hackers to execute remote commands. — DK
