The mention of cross-platform malware may not cause too many heads to turn today, but in 2009, it was still a relatively unfamiliar threat. That is precisely why the notorious computer worm popularly known as Koobface managed to wreck so much havoc using social networking websites, email outlets and messenger services. Unlike other malware, it spared no OS, be it Windows, Mac, or even Linux. The computer worm proved to be a really hard nut for the security experts to crack, giving it plenty of time to expand its list of victims and snagging money off them. Take a look at our Koobface infographics to see what the greatest threat in malware history had been up to and what you can do to keep yourself off its list of victims.
