Trend Micro security researcher Rik Ferguson reports that an application promising to show Facebook users who has been viewing their profile is a scam.

"Ferguson... warns he has already identified 25 different copies of the same rogue app but using different monikers such as peeppeep-pro, profile-check-online and stalk-my-profile," writes The Register's John Leyden.

"All of the rogue apps are spread by updates seeking to lure the friends of previous victims to give the stalkerware a try," Leyden writes. "Some even offer a photo montage of a victim's contacts in a bid to add more authenticity. However, none of the apps actually do anything except profit their creators via ad affiliate revenues and deceptive tactics."
