According to the security firm, four hoax applications have become available on the social network along with a new variation of the Koobface virus, which was first detected at the end of last year, and directs users to a fake YouTube page where they are encouraged to install malware. – PC World
Facebook applications were never meant to be installed. If you are not sure what the application does exactly and receive an invite from an unknown person, don’t install the application to your profile! Most applications are useless, and keep in mind that anyone can create an application. That includes criminals and stalkers who have a lot more time on their hands to do terrible things like this.
