Be careful with e-mail that comes into your inbox. E-mail address is directing you to log into a fake Facebook page that says your motives are required to update your facebook and ask you to log into the system, said Fred Touchette, a senior securities analyst speaking on AppRiver.
This scam page offers 'update tool' which is the source of the Zeus Trojan designed to steal personal and financial data from Facebook users, Touchette said. Facebook users who install the Facebook application on the phone, also very vulnerable to phishing attacks via e-mail address where the phone is shown following notification from the Facebook icon used is the same. This is more difficult to detect.
AppRiver filter itself has more than 6 million e-mail notification which is carrying the name of Facebook. Encountered so many e-mails that contain botnet in e-mails are filtered, he said.
Botnet mentioned here is different from the Bredolab, e-mail is a hoax e-mails that carry-frills "Facebook Password Reset Confirmation" in which there was a Trojan. On Wednesday last, is mentioned almost 730,000 e-mails already contains Bredolab in question.
To protect yourself from phishing attacks, users Facebook is expected to be careful when clicking on the link in the e-mail and have really looked at the e-mails which led to what the Facebook web pages or even phishing pages. Of course, the Facebook itself does not require user action using e-mail to update her Facebook, quite directly from the server immediately.
Well, if you get an e-mail in question, do not immediately click on any link or button on the e-mail. It is better if you check directly into your Facebook page.
