Facebook has confirmed it is releasing as much information as it can about the Koobface worm, which wreaked havoc on the social network a few years ago, and the five hackers behind it.
As expected, Facebook today started to release information about the Koobface worm (its name is an anagram of “Facebook”) and those behind it. The update comes almost a year since Facebook’s last post about the infamous piece of malware. After more than three years and numerous hours of working closely with industry leaders, the security community, and law enforcement, Facebook has announced its social network has been free of the virus for over nine months.

In July 2008, the Koobface gang, as they are often referred to, sent out invitations to watch a funny or sexy video. If you clicked the link, you were told you needed to update your Adobe Flash plugin, but the download was in fact the Koobface malware. Victims’ computers started showing ads for fake antivirus software and their searches were redirected to unscrupulous marketers. The security firm Kaspersky Labs estimated the botnet at somewhere between 400,000 and 800,000 PCs at its height in 2010.

Advisory: Fraudulent emails, purporting to be from Delta, have apparently been sent to consumers in the last 24 hours.

These emails claim that the recipient has purchased a Delta ticket, that a credit card has been charged and that an invoice or receipt is attached to the email. If you have received one of these emails do not open the attachment as it may contain potentially dangerous viruses or other malware that may harm your computer.

The Washington Post announced the launch of Washington Post Social Reader, a new social app on Facebook that gives people an easy way to experience and share news and information with their friends.

A virus has infected America's drone fleet, Wired's Noah Shachtman reports. It logs every keystroke operators type from their base in Creech Air Force Base in Nevada, but that hasn't halted their missions. Though the military hasn't found any incidents of the virus sending information to an outside source, they haven't been able to get rid of it. Shachtman explains:

Once a user scans the QR code, the code redirects them to a site that will install a Trojan on their Android smart phones.

The growing popularity of Quick Response (QR codes) on smart phones has officially become a new distribution vehicle for malware on Android devices.
