Facebook Is Still Battling Spam

But the problem is still not solved.
One Facebook member reports receiving several e-mails in the last couple of weeks, allegedly from Facebook--an invitation from a stranger to confirm him as a friend, an invitation from a friend to read a blog. But when she went to her Facebook profile, the e-mails weren't there. (Also, the e-mail from the friend was so out of character that the friend later sent a mass apology--"phishers/hackers/virus...took control of my facebook," she said.)
Facebook sometimes blogs about its security problems and on August 7 said it had blocked links to malicious Web sites from anywhere inside Facebook after the site was attacked by a worm. Facebook's head of security, Max Kelly, asked members to report spam and never share passwords.
