Viruses That Leave Victims Red in the Facebook

What's happening: Malware is spreading through Web sites like Facebook and Twitter. After stealing a Member's screen name and password, these malicious programs are coded to automatically send spam messages to the Member's friends and followers. Unsuspecting friends have been asked for money, have been directed to web-sites where malware is installed on their computers, and have had their user-names and passwords to online bank accounts stolen.

What it means: Social networks continue to be the wild wild west of the internet.

What to do: Stay vigilant. Be suspicious. Report suspected problems. And use a strong hard-to-break password.
