It showed up as a gchat from a friend with the message "OMG :)" and included a fastforwarded.com URL. I didn't log in to the site, since it all seemed fishy. I asked my friend who I'd gotten the gchat from, and she hadn't been sent the link and hadn't been to the site or entered her login on it. So the worm must have gotten her info in some other way.
