Koobface Worm Spreads Through Facebook
Posted December 5, 2008
Spyware Techie is reporting that the Koobface worm is spreading through Facebook in a fake flash update called flash_update.exe. I can confirm this as I removed Koobface from several machines at work, all of which regally visit Facebook.
Koobface is almost “Facebook” spelled backwards in a since. Lately, some links on Facebook friend’s pages were found to be malicious links to malware downloads through a hackers video page. The malware download comes from no other than the flash_update.exe file, something that we know first-hand about it spreading malware through social sites in the past.
