Koobface returns

The worm whose title is an anagram of Facebook monitors browser activity,
gathering sensitive info such as credit card numbers, emails, etc.
occasionally loading pop-ups based on search history.
It doesn't need a download, once "you view the page, you're infected".

More surprisingly is the fact that it seems to be aimed at small businesses,
which have already been severely affected by the governments latest reform bills.
The infected widget entitled "Small Business Success Index" was primarily found on hosting provider Network Solutions domains and gave tips to small business.
Analysts believe the Malware may have existed for more than 2 months and may also be on Facebook & Twitter pages.
