Zango infects FaceBook

Adware Zango spreads now in FaceBook and has infected already 3 per cent of all users, in total over a million accounts.

Fortinet warns about Secret Crush which contains Zango. This programs send itself automatically to 5 friends.

Guillaume Lovet from Fortinet said that profit-making programs for FaceBook are in on the rise. He also states that community sites like FaceBook become more dangerous all the time and those users with browsers with non-patched vulnerabilities are in greatest danger.

Zango has been able to spread fast as users don't consider programs in FaceBook as dangerous as eg. email attachments.
