So-called Vidyartha College Facebook Virus stalks users

Facebook is either under attack by a virus, or is suffering a major glitch today with users reporting that their school name has been changed to Vidyartha College.

The so-called Vidyartha College Facebook virus was first reported earlier Tuesday (US PDT) and has since spread across the site.

At this stage we don’t know though what’s causing it, and at the time of writing Facebook has made no official comment.

It is more likely that the so-called virus is a bug on Facebook’s end, with a similar occurrence having happened once in the past. However the application of the name seems to be spreading between friends and isn’t appearing on all accounts, suggesting that maybe there might be something more serious at play.

We’ll update the post if we hear anything.
