0 Comments New Phishing Attack on Facebook, be careful!

Article written by the brilliant danbaileyuk on the 30 Apr 2009

So, just logged into Facebook this afternoon and was greeted with a lonely ‘1′ in my inbox so I clicked on it interested to see who was writing to me and saw that it was a group message – warning signs go off in my head when I see group messages and then only one link in the message to ‘fbstarter.com’ – I left it alone.

Then checking on some other sites I see people are getting this around the world and TechCrunch even wrote an article on it, read here

Basically want happens is that you click on the link and it loads it but it loads a site that isn’t Facebook but looks exactly like the Facebook login, if you happen to enter your details there you’d better go quickly to the proper Facebook site and login and change your password quickly as all your friends have probably been spammed already!

These type of attacks on Social Media sites is definitely becoming more and more popular!
