Seculert said, Ramnit, which first appeared in April 2010, again raged. In addition to theterbajak 45,000 Facebook accounts, Ramnit called successfully infect 800,000 machines.This took place in September to December 2011.Microsoft Ramnit call as a malicious program that infects executable files multicomponent

Windows, Microsoft Office documents, and HTML files. The goal is to steal sensitive information. Seculert suspicious, irresponsible parties behind Ramnit use stolen data toenter the victim's Facebook account and sends a malicious link to friends. In addition, the criminals targeted access to corporate networks.

"Cyber ​​criminals take advantage of users who use the same password for all accounts(such as Facebook, Gmail, Corporate SSL VPN, and Outlook Web Access). This opportunity is used cyber criminals to enter into a corporate network," explains Seculert.

Facebook itself has said that every day they blocked the 600,000 logins from accountsthat are detected are already infected. The amount is only slightly compared to the numberof Facebook users who logged in every day, that is 1 billion logins per day.
