Facebook's "Secret Crush" malicious widget tricks users
A "widget" application used on the Facebook social network site promises to tell you who has a secret crush on you, but instead tries to trick you into downloading spyware.
OK, not the worst thing ever to hit the internet. I've posted this here because my blog gets imported into Facebook and I don't really expect anyone to take notice of anything thats written on the various walls. There's WAY TOO MUCH facebook spam. That of course just shows how easy it is to fool people.
Abraham Lincoln said "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."
Don't be fooled by this though. Downloading things can be dangerous, spyware can lead to identity theft.
