It is also confirmed that this worm is able to bypass the two level authentication used by banking organizations and online money transfer.Below I have taken the snapshot of the code of the worm that was detected in 2010.
But as the worm has spread its root to financial and social media so it a big concern.Users are advised to change there credentials in every 14 days.

As you said it is always better to change the credentials for every 2 weeks.. rather than this it is better to install and run a good antivirus program in your computer, which helps and ensures the security..
@Jai Yes the anti-virus option cannot be omitted....but there are few techniques using which your keystrokes can be stolen as most of the anti-virus can be bypassed.
So,I would suggest Good Anti-virus + Password change.....
But still then you cannot ensure 100% security.
Thanks for the comment. :)
Thanks for posting this useful post. Care should be taken always.
I don't really know how anyone can live without an anti-virus. I have had a time when I also didn't have an antivirus, but back then viruses were harder to catch and I was behind a firewall. Today I can't even think about using my computer without one.
Also, the idea about changing the password is also very good..I change mine every month or so and things are fine for the moment.
We really can't avoid this kind of infection to our accounts so it's better to be more aware of the latest threat and changing password is the easiest way to avoid them. Thanks for the information. It's nice to know Ramnit.
I dont understand, why is Facebook asking users to change their credentials after every 14 days? Why they aren't doing anything to close the whole that they have in the facebook? I dont know why such a big company can have such a problem.
so we should change our passwords every 14days, what abaut other servises, social media, emails, should i change my password everyware
@Randy Lewis, so far as my knowledge facebook is on right place, because many people hacking account right now. hope that you got my point.
facebook is doing right thing as per we are thinking. because now a day many people hacking account. so must be security.
