Facebook hit by hardcore porn virus
Facebook has been hit with a surge of violent and pornographic images spreading across the network in the last 24 hours.
The photoshopped images show celebrities like Justin Beiber appearing to a perform hardcore sex act, while there's unsavoury pictures pics of dogs being abused. The photos have apparently spread through a click-jacking virus, which encourages users to click on seemingly innocuous links and then goes on a widespread re-posting spree throughout their friend list.
Facebook has said in a statement that it is aware of the problem and is investigating. The company said: "Protecting the people who use Facebook from spam and malicious content is a top priority for us and we are always working to improve our systems to isolate and remove material that violates our terms.
