Another Facebook Phishing Attack

0 comments | Tuesday, February 22, 2011

If you use Facebook, 1 in 13 people do.  Be very careful.  There is yet another phishing scam going around.

At 2010's end, we saw a run of phishing links being sent around via the chat feature. We're seeing a new run at the moment. The following links are sent (from hijacked accounts) through chat messages and posts on the Walls of randomly selected friends:

  •  http://apps.facebook.com/dealscentral[...]/dsuguo[...]/
  •  http://apps.facebook.com/reallytimeto[...]/
  •  http://apps.facebook.com/backseatdriver[...]/
  •  http://apps.facebook.com/fishingfor[...]/

The links look as if they would go to an App, but they instead just take the user to pages that look like the real Facebook log-in page:

The pages are fake.  They are designed to steal your username and password.  Nothing fancy.  Just be aware and stay alert!
