Not unexpected, as this is the usual jump on whatever news bandwagon happens to be passing and get into the search engine rankings.

What surprises me is how they manage to get so high in the actual search engine page results. Of course they also purchase keyword search result ranking, but google were meant to be cracking down on that little ploy/scam.

again:

Osama malware scams spread to Facebook

It is also worth noting that this is not the only Osama scam currently spreading on Facebook, I also spotted many iterations of a second attack that uses clickjacking in the form of a bogus CAPTCHA to fool users into posting the bait to their own walls.

Damn! why whatever I use should get Vulnerabilities? Even I dropped many programs like VLC which often get problem and is possible to replace with more secure programs to -at least- get a 100% rating by secunia for secure browsing. but I cannot replace hardware easily! hope their new firmware will remain safe!
