Jonell Baltazar, Advanced Threats Researcher in TrendMicro, writes in company's blog that bad guys behind Koobface are using Google's Google Reader service to spread malicious links in social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter.
"The Koobface gang used controlled Google Reader accounts to host URLs containing an image that resembles a flash movie. These URL are spammed through the said social networks.
