Facebook users are being warned not to click on a message that promises to deliver the 'sexiest video ever', as when opened it leads to the download of a programme that fills the computer with junk.
"I have asked my department to undertake work, including proposals for a national ban on child sex offenders accessing social networking sites where they can contact children," he added.
Joe Sullivan, Facebook's chief security officer, said his company would co-operate with Australian authorities.
"We would welcome consideration of ways in which information about registered sex offenders can be securely shared with social networks- a model, widely deployed by the US States Attorney Generals, which has effectively removed dangerous individuals from access to such services," Sullivan said.
