Hi all.
There's a facebook (possibly worm) something malicious sending fake
messages from real users (friends).
The sample also has a remote drop site (verified by someone who shall
remain nameless).
This is possibly zlob, not verified. Thanks Nick Bilogorskiy for his help.
Infection sites seen so far are on .pl domains.
The AV industry will soon add detection.
Facebook's security folks are very capable, so I am not worried on that
front.
It's not that we didn't expect this for a long time now, but...
Be careful. Some users know to be careful in email.. but not on facebook.
Note: unlike 2003 when we called everything a worm and the 90s when
everything was a virus--this is a bot which also spreads/infects on facebook.
