Thanks Veedaz!

I just posted on my wall.
I don"t go on there often but my entire extended family kind of lives there. I like posting stuff like this though, giving advance warning to the flock.

Thanks Veedaz!
I use Facebook a lot (sadly) and I often stumble upon things like this.
Facebook... The perfect way to spread viruses to millions of users...

Cheers,
Fire Cat

It doesn't have to be on facebook - it's either the flash camera permissions exploit or something similar. Basically while you are clicking on stuff in the foreground the application is running the flash permissions windows underneath so that some clicks are fake parts of the app and some are you actually clicking to give outside sites access to your microphone and camera, stuff like that.

If you are running the latest flash they have addressed this issue but many people haven't updated and who knows this one you found may be a new version.
