Angel Creek Soap Works chose a lively design for their WordPress-based site. PayPal was used to integrate the sale of soaps.

Facebook users are being targeted by a nasty new version of the Koobface worm — dubbed Koobface.GK — that compels its victims to manually participate in creating a new Facebook account to help spread the worm.

The attackers are posting malicious links on Facebook wall pages enticing folks to click on a cutesy Christmas video.
