Summary:

The popular Facebook social-networking site had to take measures to boost its security because of recent malware and phishing scams. This caused great concern as Facebook has one of the largest user communities, 200 million users were attacked in the scheme; which initially took over the accounts of users by sending messages to friends to visit malicious websites.
To resolve their problem Facebook added MarkMonitor's antifraud services to help boost the security measures, though the problem has been resolved for now; many users would remain very skeptical for their security.
