Zango infiltrates facebook

A "malicious widget" on Facebook is leaving love-hungry social networkers feeling crushed.
The widget - which poses as a "Secret Crush" request inviting prospective marks to find out which of their friends might have the hots for them - acts as a social worm, prompting users to unwittingly download the infamous Zango adware application, security appliance firm Fortinet warns....
The tactics used to seed the application in this case are subtle, and proving effective. Those who have seeded the program within Facebook are cashing in, getting rewarded "per click" as Zango affiliates.
The widget is already being used by three per cent of the Facebook community or around one million users, according to Fortinet which has published an advisory containing screenshots that document the threat.

Yep. Noticed that a few weeks back when my e-mail started getting screwy.

Yep.

I have heard them interviewed like they are heros in the mainstream market on webmaster radio.


So, again, we see the massive difference between adult, and mainstream.

not quite sure that widget will remain on facebook for long. Unless they really are in bed with zango...
that's a big target audience for zango
