Facebook's Newest Scam

More than 600,000 people had already fallen prey to the newest Facebook scam, which is rapidly spreading across the network. In their Facebook Chat window, users receive a message from a friend that read, "hey, i just made a photoshop of you." The message includes a link to a third-party application that asks for access to your profile, access you've likely granted to dozens of outside apps in the past.

According to M86 Security Labs, this scam is spreading rapidly, at a rate of over 88,000 clicks per hour.
