GUISE, I WAS HACKED on Facebook.
I deactivated it because I was sick of getting 800 messages a minute going "wtf dude, wuts up with that site?"
If you went to that site, you can be hacked too. If you clicked on "Update Flash Player" you now have a virus. Lockdown your firewall, cut your connection and do this:
Clear your browser cookies, change all your passwords and run a virus scan. Facebook has little to no information on the problem. I'm very dissapointed that they haven't informed us about it. You have to look for it, and there's no way anybody knows until it's too late.
As of now, the Koobface virus and the hackers are only accessing Myscape and Facebook accounts, but there is the possibility of evolution to a more malicious strain.
I didn't post this earlier because I had my computer on lockdown all day yesterday.
