Bug (virus) in social Networking site Facebook


A bug by name “Vidyartha” creating nuisance here in Social Networking site Facebook that seems to change some information in the user accounts and leads to vulnerable position at some places, as it is known, seems pretty harmless one. The concerned bug is in research whether it affects user’s info.



By some developers it seems the bug “vidyartha” that sound like school or some college which is actually an institution in Sri Lanka and South India, if some reports are to be believed, some users have seen their college name being changed to that of this institution automatically. And so far, that is precisely what the virus has been doing.
You can see the image of the group that called a Bug--

 




Due to  messy things going on  Social Networking site Facebook, the users has still to wait and look for an official statement from Facebook regarding this issue. As of now, its not definite if this is an attack or a simple bug.  According to some users in and around US, its been a continuous tasks of attacking mentally and physically to well developing site Facebook to degrade both its privacy and insecurity to users. Though the issue just started yesterday and spread like water behind the carpet.
Though the related attack or bug not affected all and anyway some care should be take by forthcoming users who know this issue and be careful not to accept any invitations, blurbs or any other information which lead the site to another site through links in order to keep your account info safe.
