Watch out!

Websense is reporting a new malware attack on Facebook users. The new spoofed Facebook email messages contain malicious links and look similar to legitimate Facebook messages. The messages recipients are prompted to click on the link contained in the message to view a video.

Message subjects seen have been:
FaceBook message: Dancing Girl Drunk In The Pub- facebook Video (Last rated by Betsy Person)
FaceBook message: Dancing girl oriental dance ... (Last rated by Abdul Kay)
FaceBook message: Magnificent Striptease Dance (Last rated by Rosalind Lindsey)
FaceBook message: Watch the Oooh! Super Beautiful Girl Dancing (Last rated by Delores Tucker)
FaceBook message: Hot Girl Dancing At Striptease Dance Party

If recipients of this message click the link, they are taken to a malicious website that looks similar to Facebook and that prompts them to install a file called "Adobe_Player11.exe". This file (SHA1 70456cd86d458452ee172a791cf1b9cfaf944ef0) has very little anti-virus coverage, according to Virustotal.
