Yes it had to happen. Facebook the largest community on the planet has had a battering by a worm. The koobface worm is a type of web application virus. Security experts warn the users of the massively popular online social networks to be watchful and use caution when on the network. The “Koobface” Facebook worm tricks users and hijacks accounts. I have check Facebook Recently and could not find any warnings. Security experts are warning users of Facebook, MySpace and other social networking communities to be on guard against a new strain of the “Koobface” worm. The koobface worm, spreads by tricking users into responding to a message that is apparently sent from one of their friends. As users of Facebook are aware this is very easy to do.

When the recipient clicks on a link and view a video at a counterfeit You Tube site. Visitors are told they need to install an Adobe Flash plug-in to view the video. The bogus plug-in instead yes you guess installs a Trojan horse program that gives Koobface author(s) control over the infected user’s computer, according to security firm.People who could be affected are windows user only. If you a Mac user then your lucky this will not effect you. You lucky people.

Once I have found out any more information I will post on this thread.
