Ugh.. forgot to tell my sis not to accept anything that pops
up on the browser, but luckily she normally calls me first if
something new or strange happens, like when facebook
strated using the new look (www.new.facebook.com)

I wish these reports would be more accurate. This trojan only attacks Windows computers.... me on my Mac at work and Linux at home are safe.

Can just imagine some german kiddy going "|-|/\x0r 3133t's thnx ur 4 ur whol social life...EPICLULZ"

Oh and yeah, what superfly said. Most non-Windows systems are safe from this little nuisance. By design.

My 64-bit supercomputer running 64-bit Linux is safe.... I hope

An IP address from which the worm gets downloaded onto your computer is the following: 78.108.178.45.
When you install the "flash upgrade" codename codecsetup.exe, the worm is downloaded from that IP.
I traced the server to running somewhere in Czech...

Speculate out loud

Oh. My. Word. And here I thought this was the first cross-platform, AJAX, web 2.0-killing worm that rides on Facebook's dodgy application framework or something cool like that at least. Instead it's just another lame trojan.

I guess I could Google it to find out but it's way more fun to speculate out loud about how this irritating little program works its mojo...

Since this so-called worm 'replicates' by posting links to itself on the walls of your Facebook and/or MySpace friends it stands to reason that it somehow gains your username and password. What's the most likely way it does this... Keylogger?
