Facebook Email Phishing Scam
Tuesday
Oct 27, 2009
This is just a warning to everyone. I received an email this morning which appeared to be a message from Facebook, but in reality is just a scam. The “from” field is disguised as service@facebook.com. The way to tell is when you actually click on the reply button, the “reply to” email then changes to ferriess0@topfont.com.
Here’s how the email looked:
Hey steve,
Because of the measures taken to provide safety to our clients, your password has been changed.
You can find your new password in attached document.Thanks,
The Facebook Team
Along with the email, came an attached file. I’m assuming the attached file would unleash some sort of malicious virus onto your computer.
