For the 350 million people who use Facebook, a new phishing scam is threatening the safety of your computer and your identity. Most Facebook users receive e-mail notification when a friend writes on their wall, comments on a post or receives a direct message. Recently, an e-mail has appeared as a notification to users of a password change. The text is as follows...
Dear user of facebook,
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,
Your Facebook.
Because Facebook will NEVER change or reset your password automatically, do not open the attachment because it is most likely a computer virus or malware designed to harm data on your computer or steal personal information. Thanks to BBB in Southern Arizona for the heads up on this alert.
