Facebook Phishing Attack

From this website:


An trojan-laden phish disguised as a message from the popular social networking website Facebook is making the rounds.

In an alert Monday, web security company Websense said that the email appeared to be sent by the domain facebookmail.com with a subject line that reads "An old friend added you as a friend of facebook." The email contains an attachment called "picture.zip" that is actually a trojan.

The body of the email contained a view of Facebook's login page with a notification that says an old classmate has requested to be your friend and, "To see her picture please check your attachment."

Facebookmail.com is an official domain that Facebook commonly uses to notify its users of friend requests and events, the Websense alert said. It is unclear how the attackers spoofed the address.

Important warning about Facebook phishing! Always be wary of attachments, even from seemingly legitimate Facebookmail.com addresses. Double-check friend requests directly on Facebook. This reminds me of the dangers in Snow rider games; you think you're safe, then bam! - an obstacle! Be cautious online.
