Facebook Worm
I just got this e-mail from our IT Manager Justin, and thought it was worth sharing with you as well:
“All-
“There is a new worm/virus spreading through Facebook. It starts as a phishing email and installs a Trojan keystroke logging software on your computer. There are also reports of other ways that this worm is being distributed and installed on computers without you knowing. As of right now it appears to only be impacting Windows computers, and is not being detected by Antivirus software right now. “
The short version is, if you don’t make a habbit of letting programs update you wtihout checking where you really are, you’re probably okay.
That having been said, if you are a regular Facebook user and (be honest with yourself) you aren’t all that careful, be on the lookout for this worm.
