Being the third widespread attack in three weeks to Facebook, this weekend the

“
hilarious video” attack has been discovered. This attack attempts to steal your login credentials while requesting you to log in on a fake Facebook login page. It also requests you install malware named HD Media Player/FLV Player. If you find this video on your Facebook wall, remove it immediately. Mashable also reported today, there is a new clickjacking worm which is spreading via the “Like” feature. For more information,

Oddly enough although not related [I don’t think], today is the unofficial
Quit Facebook Day. Now these types of attacks are the inevitable with the Internet, but they do come at a trying time for Facebook as they have been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons (i.e. privacy concerns). Do you feel this gives you just a little more of a reason to quit Facebook today?
