New fb.59.to Facebook Virus Posts Random Images To Your Profile

It appears as though a prankster has come up with a clever little trick to get you to post a random image to your profile. It’s a simple loop which gets users to post a link an image, in turn getting your friends to click on the link and do the exact same thing. While the “virus” is not malicious and doesn’t require you to install any software on your computer, it does spam your friends which can be pretty annoying.

This latest “virus” appears to be more of a joke than anything else. It uses an iFrame to hide the actual content being posted from the user. When you visit the website fb.59.to, you are asked to take a “Human Test” which is essentially to “Find the BLUE button”. The blue button is a hidden version of the Facebook “Share” button. Random images like the ones posted in the image above are then posted directly to your profile with a link back to the fb.59.to website.
