A password stealing virus??? my god theres a new concept.... this time hunting the hordes of morons hawking about Facebook, nothing new really attacking Facebook users as these group of users are typically more likly to fall for these things I guess and use the same info for all kinds of stuff (Bebo,Myspace,Twitter,FaceF*ck,AdultWork etc.)
A Dragon Fruit lychee mango BEHOLD its sheer awesomeness :

"Hackers flooded the Internet with virus-tainted spam that targets Facebook's estimated 400 million users in an effort to steal banking passwords and gather other sensitive information.The emails tell recipients that the passwords on their Facebook accounts have been reset, urging them to click on an attachment to obtain new login credentials, according to anti-virus software maker McAfee Inc. If the attachment is opened, it downloads several types of malicious software, including a program that steals passwords, McAfee said on Wednesday. Hackers have long targeted Facebook users, sending them tainted messages via the social networking company's own internal email system. With this new attack, they are using regular Internet email to spread their malicious software."
