Exploits Facebook - The Facebook fan check Virus

The Facebook fan check Virus has been running absolutely rampant today. Analysts estimate 237,000 accounts have already been compromised by the Facebook fan check Virus and over a million will be compromised by the Facebook fan check Virus in the next 48 hours.

The Facebook fan check Virus is a new virus that exploits Facebook's ability to add
applications. It steals the user's login data and locks them out of their account.
Then Facebook fan check Virus sends messages to every friend on the compromised account and attempts to infect them with the Facebook fan check Virus. The friends then open the message an automatically become infected.

Facebook has not released any official statements at this time, but staff has recommended several precautions, albeit standard precautions, stating to not allow any applications you are not familiar with. They are currently revamping their FBML API in order to stop the Facebook fan check Virus from running rampant.
