New Facebook worm threat!!
Security experts are warning users of Facebook, MySpace and other social networking communities to be on guard against a new strain of the "Koobface" worm, which spreads by tricking users into responding to a message apparently sent from one of their friends.
The latest version of Koobface arrives as an invitation from a user's friend or contact, inviting the recipient to click on a link and view a video at a counterfeit YouTube site. Visitors are told they need need to install an Adobe Flash plug-in to view the video.
The bogus plug-in instead installs a Trojan horse program that gives Koobface author(s) control over the infected user's computer, according to security firm Trend Micro, which documented the new strain on its blog.
In addition, the worm also hijacks the victim's social networking account, by sending out additional invites in order to spread the worm to the victim's friends and contacts. The worm currently is spreading across multiple networks, including hi5.com, friendster.com, myyearbook.com, bebo.com and livejournal.com.
Trend also reports at least two different bogus Facebook apps being used to harvest users' personal data. Last week, a rogue Facebook app called "The Error Check System" quickly spread among Facebook users, arriving in a notification that told users that one of their friends "has faced some errors when checking your profile." Hours later, Trend spotted another rogue Facebook app, which urged recipients to click a link to find out why they had supposedly been reported to Facebook for violating the site's terms of service.
It's important to note that practicing basic online street smarts can save you from falling for these types of attacks, regardless of the medium. As always, be extremely cautious about clicking on links in unsolicited messages, even if they appear to have been sent by a friend or acquaintance. Also, don't install applications or programs if you didn't go looking for them. Before you install anything, take a few minutes to research the program and its vendor first. If you decide to install the application, make sure to download it directly from the vendor's Web site, if possible.

Beware! Facebook 'Friends' May Trash Your Laptop!!
The message that popped into Laurie Gale's Facebook inbox last month seemed harmless enough -- a friend had seen a video of Ms. Gale and had sent a link so Ms. Gale could view it. The link led to a video site that prompted her to update her video software, which she did.
"Within seconds, everything started shutting itself down," says Ms. Gale, a 37-year-old lamp-works artist from Versailles, Ky. Ms. Gale's new Dell Inspiron laptop had been infected with malicious software, or malware, that has spread through social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace.
"I cried for an hour," Ms. Gale says. It took a trip to the local computer repair shop and several phone calls with Dell customer-service representatives for her to restore the computer to its factory settings. "It was three days of torture."
The popularity of social networks and social media sites has grabbed the attention of cyber crooks searching to pilfer passwords, called "phishing," and steal sensitive personal information. The hackers are exploiting users' sense of safety within these sites, says Pat Clawson, chief executive of Lumension Security, a computer security company.
Earlier this month, Twitter, a social site in which users communicate in short bursts of text, was hit in a campaign to steal users' account passwords. On business-networking site LinkedIn, criminals set up fake celebrity profiles that, when visited, downloaded malware onto users' machines.
Malware attacks in social networks are just as dangerous as ones conducted via email, security experts say. Hackers can mine infected computers for sensitive data like log-ins and passwords to financial sites. Infected computers can also be used to send out spam emails by the thousands.
Since the messages appear to come from friends, users often think they are safe, says Jose Nazario, a security researcher at Arbor Networks, a network-security company in Chelmsford, Mass. "I think the No. 1 thing that people have to remember is that it's not as gated of a community as you think it is," he says.
The malware that has made its way through social networks differs from the so-called "Conficker" worm that has spread to millions of personal and business computers in recent weeks, according to security experts. On social networks, malware writers typically trick users into infecting their own computers. The Conficker worm spreads though a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows and infected USB drives.
The attacks via social networks vary in means and intent. Messages may lure users with requests to click on a link to look at a photo or a video. The link may take the user to a phishing site or a site with malware. Some of the spam may be harmless advertising, but users should never risk clicking on such links, security experts say.
Sonny Holmes, a new Facebook user, got a message from his daughter in December about a photo she saw of him. He clicked on the link, and it sent him to a site that asked for his email account, Social Security number and several personal health questions. "I decided post haste that I wasn't going to answer any of those questions," says Mr. Holmes, a 59-year-old pastor from North Charleston, S.C.
Later, his Facebook account started spamming all of his contacts. His laptop slowed to a crawl. Mr. Holmes had his church's information-technology department look at the computer, which the tech person was able to repair. Now "I'm very suspicious of things people send me," Mr. Holmes says.
Fewer than 1% of Facebook's 150 million users have become infected with malware using the site, says Max Kelly, Facebook's director of security. The site started seeing an uptick in malware attacks last summer.
Facebook uses automated systems to watch for unusual activity like accounts spamming their contacts, Mr. Kelly says. Once a compromised account is detected, Facebook will have the account's passwords reset, and spam messages get deleted. Facebook says it will pursue legal action against parties targeting its users. Just last year, the company filed a civil suit and was awarded $873 million in damages in a default judgment against Atlantis Blue Capital and its Canadian owner for sending Facebook users unsolicited advertisements. The company's owner couldn't be located for comment.
MySpace saw malware attacks last summer, though the company says it hasn't had any reports of it in recent months. Only a "negligible amount" of MySpace's users have been infected with malware, according to the company. (MySpace is owned by News Corp., which also publishes The Wall Street Journal.)
Twitter co-founder Biz Stone says programmers at the site improved the log-in security after a phishing campaign snared unsuspecting users. In it, users were sent messages saying something like, "Hey, check out this funny blog about you," along with a link. The link took users to a phony Twitter log-in page where users were prompted to enter their passwords.
Mr. Stone says Twitter has a team that investigates malware threats, phishing attacks and spam on the site. The company also has automated processes that monitor for and delete malicious messages and links, he adds.
LinkedIn Corp. took action when phony accounts of celebrities promised nude photos. The accounts led to sites that contained malware. LinkedIn officials say they removed the fake accounts, but declined to say whether any users' computers were infected.
"We take these matters very seriously and remove these kinds of inappropriate profiles," says Kay Luo, a spokeswoman for LinkedIn. "In addition, we are continually adding new technologies and security protocols to prevent this type of abuse."
Users should use the same caution with messages on social networks as they would with email, says Ryan Naraine, a security expert with Kaspersky Lab, a computer-security company. Users should be especially wary of any messages from friends that don't sound like their friends wrote them. If they don't normally write OMG in a message, it's probably not them, says Mr. Kelly, Facebook's director of security.

Happy Birthday - Nick Mason (27 January)
Birth name: Nicholas Berkeley Mason
Born: 27 January 1944 (1944-01-27) (age 64)
Birmingham, England
Associated acts:
-Pink Floyd:
-Sigma 6
-The Screaming Abdabs
-Mason & Fenn
-Robert Wyatt
Nationality: British
Nicholas Berkeley "Nick" Mason (born 27 January 1944 in Edgbaston, Birmingham, England) is the drummer for Pink Floyd. He has been the only constant member of the band since its formation in 1964. He also competes in auto racing events, such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The son of the documentary film maker Bill Mason, he was born in Birmingham but brought up in Hampstead, London (many online biographies mistakenly cite the street address Downshire Hill - sometimes as "the Downshire Hills" - as a district of Birmingham) and attended Frensham Heights School, Surrey. He later studied at the Regent Street Polytechnic (now the University of Westminster), where he teamed up with Roger Waters, Bob Klose and Richard Wright in 1964 to form Pink Floyd's predecessor
Mason is married (to his second wife, Nettie) and has four children; two daughters (Holly and Chloe) from his first marriage and two sons (Guy and Cary) from his second. They live in Hampstead, London however they often stay in the Wiltshire town of Corsham in the former home of Camilla Parker Bowles.
As Floyd's recording and touring schedule grew more sporadic, Mason was left with more time to pursue his favourite hobby: auto racing. He owns (through his company Ten Tenths) and races several classic cars, and has competed successfully at the 24 hours of Le Mans. His collection has been a subject of his 1998 book, Into the Red which he documents his experience with his cars along with some histories. He is also a qualified pilot, and flies a Aerospatiale AS 350 Squirrel helicopter in specially painted colours.
Mason was invited by Ferrari to purchase one of their 400 Enzos, which Jeremy Clarkson pleaded with him to borrow for reviewing purposes on the BBC motoring programme Top Gear. Mason agreed, on the sole condition that throughout the review, Clarkson promoted the release of the b
ook Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd. This led to Clarkson using Pink Floyd album titles in his description of the Enzo and The Stig driving round the track with "Another Brick In The Wall" playing (despite the fact that the Enzo does not come equipped with a stereo). Mason says that his favourite car of all time is the Ferrari 250 GTO, and owns one of the 36 built. He later sold his Enzo to millionaire Mohammad Jamil for £650 000.Nick Mason's book, Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd, was published in the UK in October 2004. It is also available, abridged, as a 3CD audio book, read by Mason.
He is worth £55 million according to the Sunday Times Rich List 2006-2007

Facebook friends could be hackers or scam artists!!
Social networking Web sites are a great way to find old classmates, stay connected with friends, or even make new friends. Unfortunately though, hackers have learned how to use Web sites like Facebook in order to disseminate viruses or steal identities. The Better Business Bureau offers advice on how consumers can protect themselves against hackers, scammers and ID thieves on social networking sites.
The popularity of social networking Web sites has grown immensely in the past few years. According to the blog Inside Facebook, as of December, Facebook was growing at a rate of 500,000 new users a day and is approaching 150 million active users. Facebook estimates that, in total, users spend more than 2.6 billion minutes on the Web site every day worldwide. As a result of the increase in popularity, scammers are seeing an opportunity to step in and ply their trade.
Social networking is extremely popular because it allows us to connect and reconnect with people we know and trust. Scammers know that they can take advantage of that trust by masquerading as friends, families, and coworkers in order to easily disseminate viruses or steal personal information such as bank or credit card numbers.
Some common social networking schemes include the following:
Friend in distress scam
One scam that has made the transition from phone and e-mail into Facebook is the "friend in distress" scam. Facebook users may receive a message in their Inbox from a friend saying that they are in a dire situation -- such as stranded in a foreign country -- and need money wired to them.
The recipient of the message doesn't realize that their friend's account has been hacked and that the message was actually sent by scammers. If the Facebook user does wire money to the scammers, they have no way of recovering the money after they learn that their friend is actually safe and sound.
Phishing friends
One particularly virulent computer virus, called Koobface, has made the social networking site rounds via MySpace and most recently on Facebook in December.
In Facebook, the victim receives a message from their friend saying "You look awesome in this video" or "You look funny in this video" and includes a link to an outside Web site to view the video. Clicking the link will open a window that Flash needs to be updated. Agreeing to the update actually installs the virus onto the victim's computer. The virus is designed to monitor the user's Internet activity and potentially steal personal information. Victims of Koobface have had a particularly difficult time removing the virus and in some cases just decided to scrap their computers.
Viral wall post
Another recent Facebook scam takes advantage of a social networker's fears that the pictures and information they post on Facebook could be made very public. The user receives a post on his wall from a friend saying something like, "hey do u realize your face book picture is all over ".
The wall posts vary, but all invariably link to an outside Web site that supposedly has the user's photos. Facebook warns that clicking on the link will allow hackers to gain access to the user's personal account and post the same message -- seemingly coming from the victim -- on their friend's walls.
BBB offers the following advice for staying safe on social networking sites:
- Be extremely wary of messages from friends or strangers that direct the user to another Web site via a hyperlink.
- Before wiring money to a friend in a jam, users should attempt to contact their friend outside of the social networking site, such as over the phone or via e-mail for confirmation. If that's not possible, BBB recommends asking them a question that only the friend could answer.
- Users should always make sure their computer's operating system and antivirus and firewall software are up to date.
- Social networking sites are about sharing information, but BBB recommends that users take steps to keep important information private. While some social networking Web sites do allow for the user to share phone numbers and addresses, it's best to keep such information private.
- Be selective when choosing friends. While a user might not want to be rude, BBB recommends that it's best to decline a request for friendship if the user doesn't actually know the person

Italy's Mafia finding fans on Facebook!!!
Your college roommate is on Facebook. So are your cousins and colleagues and friends. But guess who else may find Facebook a great way to stay in touch?
Some people in Sicily who know a few things about networking.
In recent weeks, the Italian authorities have begun investigating Facebook discussion groups devoted to convicted Mafiosi, concerned that some members might be more than fans.
Some people in Sicily who know a few things about networking.
In recent weeks, the Italian authorities have begun investigating Facebook discussion groups devoted to convicted Mafiosi, concerned that some members might be more than fans.
At the same time, a campaign calling on Facebook to remove pro-Mafia pages has been gaining momentum, while thousands of Facebook members have joined new anti-Mafia groups.
The debate spilled over from civil society to online society after recent news reports revealed that more than 2,000 people had joined Facebook interest groups hailing Salvatore Riina, the so-called boss of bosses known as Toto, who was arrested in 1993 after more than two decades on the run; and his successor, Bernardo Provenzano, arrested in 2006 after four decades in hiding. Both are serving multiple life sentences.
Such groups "are like sites that laud Hitler or Nazism," said Rita Borsellino, whose brother, the magistrate Paolo Borsellino, spent his life investigating the Cosa Nostra before he was killed in 1992 by a car bomb that Riina was later convicted of ordering.
Borsellino said she thought Facebook was "damaged" by sites that glorified the Mafia. "These are people who are accused of serious crimes and are in prison," she added.
Facebook's member-generated groups encourage the free exchange of comments on a set theme. After receiving press attention, some groups disappeared, including "Toto Riina, the Real Boss of Bosses," whose members wished Riina a merry Christmas and expressed their availability to work for him. Another group had called for the "immediate beatification" of Provenzano.
Facebook said it had taken down some Mafia-related content because it violated the site's terms of use.
At the behest of anti-Mafia magistrates in Palermo, Italian authorities have contacted Facebook -- which confirmed that it was working with the Italian officials who had opened an investigation.
"We're taking it seriously without blowing it out of proportion," said Maurizio De Lucia, a magistrate at the anti-Mafia prosecutor's office in Palermo.
De Lucia said prosecutors were trying to determine whether members of pro-Mafia online groups were mostly "some kids who want to have fun" or gangsters looking for new ways to send coded messages to one another.
So far, the authorities said they had not found evidence of any criminal activity on the sites.
Last week, a member of Parliament's anti-Mafia commission, Sen. Gianpiero D'Alia, called for a government investigation and urged his colleagues to remove their Facebook pages until the site took down pro-Mafia groups.
"We can't accept in virtual reality what we don't accept in real reality," D'Alia said in a telephone interview.
