Facebook "clickjacking" spreads across site

Hundreds of thousands of Facebook users are falling victim to so-called "clickjacking" attacks, warn web security labs.
Facebook members see links to subjects such as "World Cup 2010 in HD" or "Justin Bieber's phone number" that their friends appear to have "liked".
Clicking the link tricks users into recommending the site on Facebook too.
