A nasty piece of malware is siphoning usernames and passwords from Facebook accounts, mostly in the U.K. and France.
A nasty worm slithering through Facebook has successfully pilfered more than
45,000 usernames and passwords from users of the world’s most popular social
network.
Most of the Facebook victims are the the U.K. and France, according to
researchers at Seculert.
The worm, called Ramnit, was first discovered around 2010 stealing FTP
credentials and browser cookies from infected machines.
In 2011, the worm started hijacking financial data and by the end of the
year, had been found on about 800,000 Windows computers.
Now, Seculert has discovered a new target — Facebook usernames and
passwords.
