Facebook Says It Has Contained Malware Threat

Facebook says that it has put the brakes on the spread of a malicious software attack that was trying to propagate itself via the popular social networking site.

In an e-mail sent last night, Facebook's director of communications, Brandee Barker, wrote:

"The safety and security of our users is a top priority for Facebook. Over the past few days, we have received reports from users of spam and phishing attacks. We have also detected and contained a worm. We are investigating every report, removing false content, blocking us links and addressing the concerns of our users

Very interesting. Wish they sent out a message to all users about that spam chain email and how it was fake.
