The Sims 3757, 4655 auto-tagging in Facebook.com

It seems that starting yesterday many Facebook.com users are facing similar trends “Your friend tagged you in a photo”. But upon opening the photo, it is a photo of a popular game Sims 2. Some of the photos are titled “The Sims 3757″ and “The Sims 4655″. What seems to be the problem is that 150 over people were tagged in the same photo and the photo owner was not the person who uploaded the photo.

How did it get uploaded in the first place? Could it be some rogue application the user has allowed access into their profile? Some users even reported that their Facebook Wall was bombarded with hundreds of announcement. The photo also comes with a suspicious link (hxxp:\tryntry.com) that we suggest you not to visit as to not compromise your Facebook account details.

For the time being, please delete the photo from your album until we hear further news from Facebook.com.
