Social engineering via social networks

Worms, dubbed "Koobface.a" and "Koobface.b", post comments or send messages to potential victims on Facebook and MySpace to CONvince them to click on links. Once the victim clicks, they will be brought to a webpage that announces that they need to install an Adobe Flash Player update. The fake Flash Player patch is the actual worm code.
