Zango's Got a Secret Crush on Facebook

Zango's at it again, showing the company will stoop to any level to serve pop-up ads to people that don't want them. What's being dubbed by security experts as a malicious social worm is brought to you via Zango and Facebook's open platform.

FTC Slaps Zango On The Wrist

Zango Inc., the Web 2.0 incarnation of bubble-era adware and porno-popup company 180solutions, settled up with the Federal Trade Commission to the tune of $3 million (about 23 cents per install).
