There's A Facebook Virus Going Around That Can Empty Your Bank Account

A six-year-old virus that drains bank accounts is thriving on
Facebook, reports Nicole Perlroth of The New York Times.
The virus is spread through phishing messages.
When someone has been phished , their account will automatically send
messages or links to a large number of their friends.
These messages or links are usually ads telling friends to checkout
videos or products. Don't click them.
Facebook is aware of the problem but it isn't taking the matter nearly
as seriously as it should be, says Eric Feinberg, founder of the
advocacy group Fans Against Kounterfeit Enterprise (FAKE).
Feinberg told The NYTimes, "[Facebook isn't] listening ... we need
oversight on this."
The virus is called Zeus . It's a special type of Trojan horse that
has already infected millions of computers. Zeus works by remaining
dormant on your computer until you log into your bank account. Once
you're in it steals your password and drains your account.
Zeus targets Windows machines. It does not work on Mac OS X or Linux.
The only real way to protect yourself from it is to make sure you only
click links that come from trusted sources.
The virus is sophisticated too. Sometimes it can even replace your
bank's website with its own page in order to get even more information
like your social security number so that it can be sold on the black
market.
Zeus has been around since 2007 and evidence shows that it is only
getting more active. The virus is being hosted from computers
controlled by a Russian criminal gang that has been linked to online
crimes ranging from malware and identity theft all the way to child
pornography.
