You should be alert during the next few days. Do not open
any message with an attachment entitled 'POSTCARD FROM
HALLMARK,'regardless of who sent it to you. It is a
virus which opens A POSTCARD IMAGE, which 'burns'
the whole hard disc C of your computer.
This virus will be received from someone who has your
e-mail address in his/her contact list.. This is the reason
why you need to send this e-mail to all your contacts. It is
better to receive this
message 25 times than to receive the virus and open
it.
If you receive a mail called' POSTCARD,' even
though sent to you by a friend, do not open it! Shut down
your computer immediately. This is the worst virus announced
by CNN.
It has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive
virus ever. This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday,
and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus. This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc,
where the vital information is kept
Trouble in FarmVille: Facebook, gaming company face lawsuit over deceptive ads
For the players of Mafia Wars, Vampires, FarmVille and a handful of other Facebook games, the temptation of earning "virtual currency" by clicking on the various offers that popped up on the page was too much to pass up. Unfortunately, what these gamers didn't realize at the time was that the advancement of their virtual characters came at the expense of their own personal bank accounts.
Now, some are fighting back by filing a lawsuit against Facebook and Zynga, the maker of the games. The suit, which is seeking class action status, claims that some offers in the games prompted a series of unauthorized charges or triggered enrollments in programs without the user's knowledge. More than 100,000 people fell victim to these offers, losing more than $5 million, the lawsuit claims.
Among several other examples, the lawsuit cites an IQ test that requires the user to provide their cell phone number. After doing so, some were billed for a text messaging service. Another example from the lawsuit involved an offer that asked consumers to sign up for a "risk-free" trial subscription to a green tea herbal supplement program. Yet somehow that trial became a difficult-to-cancel subscription that every month delivered tea and pills from China.
The only named plaintiff in the lawsuit, Rebecca Swift of Santa Cruz, Calif., said she was charged more than $165 for two months' worth of pills and tea before she was allowed to cancel. She said she first tried to cancel during the trial period, for which she was supposed to pay $5.95 to cover shipping.
In a written statement to WalletPop, a Facebook spokeswoman said the company was not involved in the ad placement and didn't profit from it. She also said Facebook has been working to clear its pages of scam ads and the company is committed to fighting the suit.
"The ads in question appeared in third-party applications, were not from Facebook, and provided no benefit to Facebook," she wrote. "However, we are concerned about any potential threat to our users' experience. As a result, we have, and will continue to, take action against both the ad networks and developers who violate our principles or policies. We do not see any merit in this suit and we will fight it vigorously."
Facebook said it is committed to banning ad providers that deliver content in violation of Facebook "principles or policies" and already has cut off four providers.
Zynga, billed as the most popular social gaming company, is in a different situation. Its CEO had the misfortune of being videotaped explaining that his hunger for cash outstripped his interest in keeping his users from being subjected to unsavory offers.
In the video, CEO Mark Pinkus said: "I did every horrible thing in the book to, just to get revenues right away. I mean we gave our users poker chips if they downloaded this ... toolbar which ...I downloaded it once and couldn't get rid of it. We did anything possible just to get revenues so that we could grow and be a real business."
A Zynga spokesperson said the company would not comment on the lawsuit, but said it will no longer let scam ads appear with its games.
"Our mission is to provide users with the best possible experience. We deeply regret any difficulty this may have caused users and to make sure we continue to offer the best user experience, we took all offers down," a Zynga spokesperson said in an email to WalletPop. "We take our responsibility to our users very seriously and will continue to take steps to ensure they have a fun and positive game play experience."
Just want to inform our community about a gamer that has been on a few sites. He will represent himself as a sponsored gamer with XFX and NVIDIA. He will go as far as offering great deals on computer equipment that he has "laying" around. The prices will be too good to be true and his offer to better your leagues are bogus at best. His name is XFX Bullet. I am sure he has many other aliasis in the game. He also will state that he is kin to Jack Roush. All of this information is bogus. You will see his servers up listed as RoushFenwayRacing or just RoushFenway. His real name is Jon Carrigan and his address is 1035 Cemetary Ave, Manchester, Ohio 45144. His telephone numbers are 937-779-0231 and 937-549-2343. If you ever come across this guy on any of your sites please beware as his is a fraud. He has take a very large amount of money from drivers and has delivered nothing for it. Again, use this information as you wish. Hell if you feel like giving the ole lad a call just to let him know what a piece of crap you think he is for taking peoples money feel free to do so. I like to call once or twice a day just to remind him when he wakes up what a scam artist he really is.
The worm posts an image on a victim's Facebook Wall with a photo of a woman in a bikini and the message "click 'da button, baby." Wall posts are viewable by a Facebook user's friends.
If a friend clicks on the image and is logged into Facebook, the image is then is posted to their own Wall. Their Web browser will then open a Web page with a larger version of the same image. A further click on "da button" redirects the friend to a pornography site, according to Roger Thompson chief research officer for antivirus vendor AVG Technologies. Thompson posted a video of the attack on his blog.
The creators of the worm are likely making money by driving referrals to the pornography site, said Nick FitzGerald, a threat researcher for security vendor AVG.
Researchers aren't quite sure exactly how the worm works but believe it may be a cross-site request forgery attack (CSRF) or a clickjacking attack or a mix of both.
A CSRF attack occurs when a victim's credentials are used to perform some action but without their knowledge. In this case, the attacker fraudulently posts the image to the victim's Facebook Wall, piggybacking on the fact the victim is logged into their account.
Another possibility is clickjacking, where attackers use special Web programming to trick victims into clicking Web buttons without realizing it.
Clickjacking is possible due to a fundamental design feature in HTML that allows Web sites to embed content from other Web pages. Web browsers are vulnerable to clickjacking attacks, although browser makers have worked to shore up defenses against them.
Facebook classifies the attack as clickjacking, an attack that is "not specific to Facebook," according to a written statement. Facebook also said the attack was not a worm.
"We've taken action to block the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) associated with this site, and we're cleaning up the relatively few cases where it was posted," the statement said. "Overall, an extremely small percentage of users were affected."
If the worm does spread through a clickjacking attack, "it may be difficult for Facebook to fix reliably," FitzGerald said. "Regardless, it is a worm."
Facebook warned users not to click on suspicious links. However, in this case, the link doesn't stand out as necessarily suspicious given the variety of Wall postings, graphics and applications that appear all over the popular social-networking site.
In fact, one security researcher inadvertently reposted the suspect graphic before realizing something wasn't right. "This shows that even experts can become complacent and trust systems when they really shouldn't," wrote Gadi Evron, an independent security researcher, on Dark Reading's blog.

Fake YouTube Pages Carry Dangerous Viruses
SAN FRANCISCO ? Savvy Internet users know that downloading unsolicited computer programs is one of the most dangerous things you can do online. It puts you at great risk for a virus or another time bomb from a hacker.
But even some sophisticated surfers could get taken in by a sneaky new attack in which criminals create fake YouTube pages ? dead-on replicas of the real site ? to push their malicious software and make it look like it's safe stuff coming from a trusted source.
A program circulating online helps hackers build those fake pages. Users who follow an e-mail pointing them to one of the pages would see an error message that claims the video they want won't play without installing new software first.
That error message includes a link the hacker has provided to a malicious program, which delivers a virus.
Even worse: once the computer is infected, it's simple for the hacker to silently redirect the victims to a real YouTube page to see videos they were hoping to see ? and hide the crime.
"It's spot-on accurate, and that is scary," said Jamz Yaneza, threat research manager for security software company Trend Micro Inc. "If I were watching YouTube videos all day I would probably click on this one."
The tactic itself isn't new: There's a constant push by criminals to build more convincing spoofs of legitimate sites to trick people into downloading harmful software. And the latest attacks don't target any vulnerability in the YouTube site.
But it highlights the fact that criminals are getting better at creating bogus sites and developing so-called "social engineering" methods to fool people.
Fortunately, truly alert Internet users can still see the telltale warning signs with the fake YouTube pages.
For one, the Web browser won't show the real YouTube's Internet address. And to even see the malicious page, you have to first follow a link that's sent to you, which is often a tip-off that you should independently verify whether the site is legitimate.
