Facebook Video Virus Takes Over User Profile

Last Saturday, a friend from my Facebook list, sent a mass message to facebook users (including me) promoting a video that seem to be a Virus. This is what the message look like:

Minutes after sending the mass message, my friend post an update warned those who received the message to ignore and delete them because she actually did not authorize the circulation.

The email is actually a Virus known as W32.Koobface.A

Once you’re infected the Virus will not only installs itself into the background on your PC, but takes over your Facebook profile and sends itself to all your friends!. The method is simple, the URL will re-direct users to go to the fake Video Site that says you’re missing a plugin. It prompts you to download something and, if you do, you’re infected.The virus will then e-mail your friends and also update your profile to include links back to the virus.

The Solutions

Reset your Facebook password immediately.

If you can’t reset the password on your account because the email address you use to log in has been changed, or if your account has been disabled, contact Facebook Operations team.

Run a virus scan on your computer, as you may have inadvertently downloaded malware.

Tell your friend to follow the steps above.

Warn those who received the spam not to click on it, and to delete it from their Walls and Inboxes immediately.
