The Facebook Application - Barrack Obama Hillary Clinton Scandal

I just received this personalize message with link of Facebook Application.
in title Barrack Obama-Hillary Clinton Scandal or Barack Obama Exposed



See below example





The one I received yesterday night with title "Barack Obama Exposed" this was came from a friend in my network and personally address in my name "

After clicking the video I got suspicious with and start disconnecting my internet connection and scan my computer after I confirmed from a friend that it was a spam application circling in the Facebook network.

Good thing I just scan my whole computer and found the application did 'nt get through. Few hours later the application message on my wall just disappeared and it seems it was get rid already by the Facebook administrators.

Some article says that these video links tried to spread the koobface virus.

Below is a post from cnet news:

"Uncovered by ESET researchers in Latin America, this latest Koobface campaign is sending Facebook users messages with a link that claims to direct them to videos of sexual encounters. The link included in the e-mails tells the user to download a video codec to view the X-rated content. But instead of delivering the goods, the link calls up a download that launches the Koobface malware, thus infecting its intended victim.

And like most malware, by infecting one computer, the worm then triggers the malicious message to all of the contacts of that PC’s owner.

The creators of Koobface have even added a twist to thwart security experts trying to combat the worm. The dangerous download occurs only the first time someone clicks on the link. Subsequent efforts bring up a “Page not found” error. This type of attack makes it more difficult for researchers to analyze different versions of the malicious code, according to ESET."

".....Have you noticed your friends posting on your wall with something like this: “xxxx, you have to see this!” and it posts a video that says something about a video scandal of President Obama and Hilarry Clinton. Apparently, most of my friends were infected with this and are now spamming the walls of their friends. The application looks fishy and who knows what it will do to your profile so I suggest you don’t click on the link once it appears on your wall. Better if you can block the application itself......"
