According to unified threat management specialist Fortinet Facebook users had better start paying attention to the postings that appear on their message wall within the popular social networking site. It appears that spammers are moving away from targeting third party applications, as evidenced in the recent 'Secret Crush' case, and are instead turning their attentions to posting deceptive message containing links to spam sites on the wall instead.

Fortinet has also published the findings of its March malware report, and this makes the usual somber reading it has to be said. It reveals that Sunday has become a spike day for malware activity, with four consecutive Sundays seeing an increase in activity that has pushed the Pushdo.EV Trojan to the top of the malware tree with 13.5 percent of all activity for the month. It achieved this by sending out animated e-cards that promised recipients pictures of naked ladies.
