The virus "Koobface" credit card information targets Facebook users. The virus spreads through Facebook messages that appear to be sent by a friend. The messages say "you look funny in this new video" or "You look just awesome in this new video," with a link to watch a video "Tom secret." When users try to play the video, they are prompted to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. If they do, the virus attacks the computer user looking for credit card information. It finds credit card numbers stored in your system cookies, previous online purchases, or wait until you buy something online and records the details you type on your keyboard. The virus "Koobface" targeted MySpace in August Facebook recommends that users who receive the messages "Koobface" Facebook resetting their passwords and run an anti-virus program.
