Isn't that convenient? As Facebook sucks away your time, energy and will to live, malware is draining your bank account too.

In case you needed further evidence that the White Hats are losing the war on cybercrime, a six-year-old so-called Trojan horse program that drains bank accounts is alive and well on Facebook. On a popular NFL fan page, fake Facebook profiles post links to Internet addresses controlled by the Russian Business Network, an online criminal gang accused of various online crimes, ranging from identity theft to child pornography.
 
I'm not surprised. The best place to drop off your malware to let it do its thing is on the place where the most people are going to visit. Enterprises like this would have a harder time operating though if it weren't for stuff like Bitcoins.
 
How the hell do people have their bank accounts linked to facebook and not think they are being stupid?
