If you get an e-mail saying that Facebook Company reset your password and urging you to open an attachment, it’s a scam. Beware!
McAfee warned people to beware of an e-mail that appears to come from Facebook influencing recipients to open an attachment to obtain their new password.
The attachment targets the Windows computer to steal the password and which can potentially access any username and password combination used on the computer, not alone the login details for Facebook.
McAfee says, “This threat is potentially very dangerous considering that there are over 350 million Facebook users who could fall for this scam, this is also the sixth most prevalent piece of malware targeting consumers in the last 24 hours, as tracked by McAfee Labs.”
For one, Facebook doesn’t mail like this. It may send an e-mail with a link where the user can reset the password, but not an e-mail with an attachment.
So, it’s clear that this is a phishing scam.
