Facebook has been the recent target of a virus attack that could put all 120 million of its users at risk. Nicknamed 'Koobface' – see what they did there? – the virus can't actually be downloaded on the site itself, but through a link to a bogus Flash player upgrade site.

Yikes, thanks for posting OP. I'm surprised that there haven't been more attacks. This may be the 2nd one?

Two days ago I received a facebook-generated email message from a friend who's facebook account has been compromised. The message looked like it was, and in fact was, generated through facebook. It contained a short message .... something like " Wow! You look like a princess in this video darling " along with a link to a you-tube video. Luckily, only an hour before I'd received an email from another friend warning about You-Tube videos being infected with a virus ... spyware actually. Anyway, I didn't click the link but instead contacted my friend who confirmed that several people had just recently contacted him about receiving suspicious emails from him through facebook. So this problem is definitely real and rampant at this moment. I plan on staying away from both facebook and you-tube until all the anti-virus and anti-spyware software companies get up to speed on this one.
