    "Tens of thousands of Facebook accounts compromised in days by
    malware Professionally developed trojan posing as a stress
    reliever infects 40,000 PCs.

    Criminals have compromised tens of thousands of Facebook
    accounts in the past few days using malware that masquerades as
    a paint program for relieving stress.

    "Relieve Stress Paint" is available through a domain that uses
    Unicode representation to show up as aol.net on search engines
    and in emails, researchers from security firm Radware said in a
    post published Wednesday morning.  (This query showed the trojan
    was also available on a domain that was designed to appear as
    picc.com.) The researchers suspect the malware is being promoted
    in spam emails."
