Panic now you Facebook folk!

A well-meaning member of our team forwarded this message earlier:

If somebody called bm_tnoo7@hotmail.com adds you to their facebook account DONT accept it because its a hacker. Tell everyone on your list because if somebody on your list adds them you get them on your list he'll figure out your ID computer address. So copy and paste this message to everyone even if you hate them and fast because if he hacks their mail he hacks yours.

Run for the hills. 

It's been a while since I've seen one of these. All the hallmarks of a virus hoax - a heady mix of technobabble, dire warnings and instructions to "forward to all your friends". 

Mind you there's been a lot of panic this week. Just look at Northern Rock....
