Imagine being told that you’re sick when you’re not, a quack doctor forcing some symptoms to show, and then being charged for a Cyanide pill to treat your nonexistent ailment. That’s the gist of what’s going down on MySpace at the moment.
This thing is being passed around in the same fashion as the MySpace Adult Content Viewer BS that was infecting tons of people not too long ago…
1. Tons of fake MySpace profiles are setup.
2. Said profiles have a clickable image overlaying them to entice people into downloading a payload of evilness.
3. A friend adder bot is used to send out a couple hundred friend requests from those profiles every day.
4. People visit the profiles to see who the got the friend request from.
5. The end.
For a detailed look at how the Cyanide is administered, PaperGhost has a play-by-play posted on SpywareGuide.
For everyday MySpace users, the bottom line is that you shouldn’t click on this image when you see it plastered across a profile.
