A "widget" application used on the Facebook social network site promises to tell you who has a secret crush on you, but instead tries to trick you into downloading spyware.
That's according to security firm Fortinet, which says it discovered the sneaky Secret Crush malicious code in the last few days, which appears so far to have infected about three million Facebook users.
Seriously people, if you're going to play on social network sites, don't be a fucking sucker, and sign up for every goddamn fun-looking application. Besides, "secret crush?" How socially desperate do you have to be to fall for that? Although apparently 3 million people meet that criterion.

I have a crush on you.
Exhibiting excellent taste, but presumably without the virus. It is not so very long ago that a great many people fell for the "I love you" virus -- repeatedly. Technology may advance by interesting leaps and bounds, but people's fundamental urges and needs do not.
