Shocking Facebook Virus Spreading Hardcore Porn on Users' Newsfeeds

Millions of innocent Facebook accounts are being ravaged by a virus subjecting viewers to hardcore porn, according to several accounts.

Gawker reports that reader Adam Shank describes the images as "REALLY graphic" and appearing as updates in Facebook's News Feed. According to that site, many Facebook users are getting fed up and beginning to deactivate their accounts and sharing their angst over the site on Twitter:

• IBTREY: "Yep Facebook done turned into a porn site"
• seanniex: "Why is Facebook turning into porn?"
• DriveA_Lexus: Facebook Is officially a porn site.... All I see is sex photos and videos.
• BriannaLaughlin: I can't go on facebook anymore because it's a legit porn site.

There are also reports of something called "Jesus porn":

The Christian Post has more:

The newsfeed for many has become a porn and violence infested smut list of nude photos and videos, graphic depictions of death, and blasphemous mockeries of faith through pornography.

Users are outraged and some are considering deleting their profiles. Actress and director, Courtney Zito, told The ChristianPost, "I have 5000 friends. My feed is littered with porn. I can't even check my news feed with anyone around because of it."

She said some of these images show up on the feed while others come through the mail. "Just saw one with a guy who had his skull bashed in and his brains on the street. Another one was the devil... Besides the countless naked girls. I'm about ready to deactivate...," she said.

Another user, Ana Lisa, was disgusted by the "gross nudes everywhere."

According to the Daily Mail, the cyber attack is tied with Facebook's new Timeline feature (read more about Timeline), "luring users into clicking on to it with images of celebrities -- then flooding their personal accounts with sex and violent scenes."

There are rumblings over whether the hacker collective Anonymous could be behind the virus, due to their alleged threat earlier this year to take down Facebook on Nov. 5, which didn't come to pass. But several groups don't think the group is behind the virus due to the style of the hack and also perhaps due to the fact that the group recently took down several child porn sites and exposed users.

WPIX from New York reports that Facebook fixed the problem Sunday but graphic images were beginning to crop up again just hours later.
