Some said this year 2010 is the year of spam, as the networking gurus at Cisco predicted that worldwide spam volumes will increase by 30 or 40 percent over 2009 levels; see the PDF report here.

Apart from simply reading the report or get ready to the spamming challenges, Facebook has announced that they have fixed one of the bugs spotted, although it was not the most notorious spam attacks like Koobface. This bug namely as “Unnamed App” and the past days many Facebook users have even posted their status updates to make other users aware about it.

A latest update, Facebook officials told CNN that the bug wasn’t harmful and is fixed. Facebook spokesperson Malorie Lucich said that the bug was fixed by January 27 afternoon.

“Due to a small bug, an application listed as “Unnamed App” appeared in some users’ Applications Settings. No user accounts or data were lost or damaged,” according to Lucich.

I just came across an article that entitled, “Pizza Hut To Spam Facebook Users.” To me, this article is quite interesting, especially it talked about when a user installs the Pizza Hut Facebook application called Pizza Hut Interface, whenever she ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut through this application in Facebook, her friends would get to know which pizza she ordered through a tiny notification appeared on their Facebook profiles.

Is this an act of Facebook application spam? How about the notification itself offers nothing about your own interest, for example, XXX accepted your friend request, or XXX wrote on your Wall, but something that do with Pizza Hut products, a food that it might not suit your taste in the first place.

At the time of my writing, there are over 600 monthly active users for this application. If you do not want your Facebook friends to know which type of pizza you’ve ordered, you simply can order it over the phone, don’t install this application.
