After a small hiatus, it appears that the social media networking site, Facebook is being attacked once again. AVG reports that there is an attack in progress under the guise of anti-virus software. Attackers have found a way to break the captcha's of Facebook accounts and create a mass of new "friends" to try to join your social network. The invites from these friends include a link. Learn more as we replicate this attack in our own SophosLabs.
