Facebook Dislike Hype Exploited In Phishing Campaign

An anonymous reader writes: A new Facebook scam is quickly spreading across the social network which plays on the announcement of the highly-anticipated 'Dislike' button. A new scamming campaign is now exploiting impatient Facebook users anxiously awaiting the dislike button addition, by tricking them into believing that they can click on a link to gain early access to the feature. Once the unsuspecting victim selects a link, they are led to a malicious website, which enables access to their private Facebook accounts and allows the hackers to share further scam links on their behalf.

    Do any other sites have the same sort of moderation system that /. has?

    Moderated 'dislike' or 'like' seems kind of lame in comparison.
