We're sorry about the enormous amount of Facebook news today, but this one seems really interesting. Apparently, one of those annoying "who do you like" Facebook applications called Secret Crush actually downloads and installs spyware on your computer. The application appears no different from other similar ones: it appears in your profile, saying that someone has a "secret crush" on you. Eager to find out who the secret admirer is, you install it, and instead of some lovin', you get the infamous Zango spyware. Not nice.
The scam was discovered by security gateway vendor Fortinet, who claim that the threat is quite serious, since about 3 percent of Facebook's users have already installed the adware-infested program. Although the users themselves have found out that Secret Crush is a scam a while ago, not everyone is in on the news, and users are probably still installing the app as we speak.
