Two stunning blond girls are wreaking havoc on Facebook.

Researchers at the Danish security firm CSIS detected a dangerous worm spreading through the social networking giant in the form of a JPEG of two blond women smiling for the camera. Spreading via Facebook messages from friends, the image poses as a screensaver, but clicking on the picture sets in motion a cruel cybercrime campaign.
"The worm carries a cocktail of malware onto your machine, including a Zbot / ZeuS variant which is a serious threat," Peter Kruse from CSIS wrote on the company's site.

The Zeus Trojan enables attackers to gain unauthorized access to infected computers, and is often deployed to steal victims' bank account credentials by intercepting passwords sent by banks to authenticate online transactions.
