Facebook has confirmed the removal of the Secret Crush app, due to its usage of spyware, which we first covered here.
[img src="" caption="" credit="" alt=""]You may recall that the Secret Crush application was reported to the installation of the Zango spyware on users computers, operating off the fact that some folks out there really wanna know who's secretly in love with them. After initiating the installation the application, the malware could easily be spread like Mono in a high school lunch room. Users were asked to invite at least 5 more friends before continuing with the install, after which they were then invited to download the Crush Calculator application where the Zango software was hidden.
Facebook handled this particular situation rather swiftly, and doesn't appear to be suffering any backlash or repercussions as a result of the malware finding its way onto the social network. As Stan mentioned in our initial coverage, the users of Facebook have been adamant about reporting applications that are really spam.
