Facebook administrators have blocked a clickjacking exploit that displayed images of a scantily clad woman on profile pages without first prompting the user for permission.
The attack began when a victim encountered the image of the near-naked woman on a friend’s profile page along with the words “Want 2 C something hot? Click da button, baby!” Facebookers who took the bait – and were logged in to their accounts at the time – found their profile pages were updated to include the same image. The more people who fell for the come-on, the more the come-on was presented to new potential victims, giving the attack a viral quality.
