As a result the hackers are having a field day infecting thousands of computers worldwide using the innocent users. The latest worm to hit Facebook is a page that has the title "Shocking! This girl killed herself after her dad posted this photo". It gets posted on the wall of the Facebook users and then spreads to the other users in his address book fast.


The Facebook worm "Shocking! This girl killed herself after her dad posted this photo" has already infected a lot of users of the popular social networking service.
