Facebook worms are spreading freely

Wherever you click on the page - the iFrame with the button for posting the link is right underneath (not so here at The H ;-). A new worm is spreading rapidly via Facebook. The cause is a problem disclosed weeks ago which Facebook seems unable to fix. As a result, there has been another wave of crafted status messages – this time they refer to a web page which allegedly presents the "101 hottest women in the world".

Those who click on the link are directed to a fairly neutral page with a picture of Jessica Alba and the message "Click here to continue". At this point nothing bad has happened, however, in the background the web page has opened an iFrame which posts the link to Facebook. This works because users are already logged into Facebook when they read their messages. Usually, though, a further click on the "Share" button is also required.
