Does anybody know what this weepfaint.com messages in facebook is all about?
My wife got a "your photo is displayed/uploaded to weepfaint.com" message by a friend in facebook. She called me and I checked it out. Then a sound played saying that "your photo is being uploaded to weepfaint.com" Does anybody know anything about this, Symantec does not know, nor does securitywonks.net?

It's a phishing site, like bakespoil.com, that gets you to type your information in so it can hack your account and spam others.

It's just like everything else. So long as you don't buy in to it, you'll be fine. Don't enter your information.

<<Did you know that your pics are all over weepfaint.com (or other sites)?>> That's a message which many MySpace and facebook users have gotten, supposedly from either a relative or a close friend - so far I've seen reports on YA from:

atomipad.com, azurebuzz.com, azurezoom.com, bubbleserve.com, coralpad.com, crimsonopia.com, deesphere.com, dynatoken.com, flapset.com, gabbleset .com, getemtoken.com, getemset.com, gingersphere.com, hazelpad.com, heycode.com, iconnik.com, phototradingspot.info, scrality.com, snapnik.com, tradepicsnow.com, ubzunit.com, wackset.com, wackstate.com, wareate.com

and a couple of others. When you follow the link included in the mail, you'll be led to a site which asks you for personal infos like name, mail account, passwords - you get the picture? Right, the site which supposedly has your pictures displayed, never had them, it doesn't even exist! The whole thing is just a phishing scam! And when you ask your contact, you'll find that he never send you the mail! After doing a lot of research, I found that a single guy is behind half of the addresses listed above. I suggest to forward such a message to the links below:

phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com
http://www.spamcop.net/
Federal Trade Commission spam@uce.gov
Treasury Department 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov
http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/re... - this site contains links for various countries

Here's how to do the forwarding bit: click the crtl key and at the same time click the "forward" button to forward a message as an attachment, mac users should click the "apple" key and click "forward" simultaneously.

To read more about scams go to the links below.

Basically its a spam-virus.If your friend has it on facebook then,all his/her friends profile will be uploaded on weepfaint.com.
So whenever that friends log in/he uses the internet, the will see the pictures. So when some one tells you to go and check it out, dont do it. Its just there to get your information. Dont worry about the pictures because it only them who see it (those who have the virus).
Just keep it cool, or your information will be stolen.
