Subject: Facebook Group Page Has Links to Malware-Laced Sites

Last one from SANS today.  I PROMISE!

(January 11, 2010)
Miscreants intent on spreading malware appear to be preying on people's
unfounded fears that Facebook plans to begin charging users for its
services.  A Facebook group that appears to offer a place for people to
protest the rumored fees has been shown to contain malware.  The group
pages themselves appear to be clean, but link to suspicious sites.
Snopes.com has posted a warning about the deceptive groups and
associated pages.
