Facebook & MySpace Backdoors Wide Open

Yeah, yeah, yeah…there are a ton of "open backdoor" jokes that can be made here but, it’s too easy, I’ll take the high road this time.

For example when accessed, a automatic "post update" could be made, that would lure friends of the user to access the exploit URL, and the exploit would spread virally. An more invasive and hidden exploit could harvest all the users personal photo's, data and messages to a central server without any trace, and there is no reason why this wouldn't be happening already with both Facebook and MySpace data.

so what can a large group of my friends that just started using facebook do to defend against this exploit?

Is it ok to let my sister sign in her myspace account using my computer?
Could you list any threat about myspace? Her computer is full of virus. Now she's using mine. I never go to myspace.com

Do your sister a favor and go though Osiris' Spyware Asylum guide on her computer

I already offer to fix her computer for free, but she said no. She does not care.
I just wanna kick her out of my computer. But I worry my Mom will yell at me.
