[NOD32 and Virus News] WARNING: Fake Facebook login system spam! - BETTERANTIVIRUS.COM: Our take: Spammers sending massive email 'campaigns' to phish for personal details is nothing new - this new twist is somewhat bemusing to us, as you do not give Facebook your credit card, or other details - we think it is probably to enable these thieves to complete their "profile" on people whose information they already have SOME information relating to - for instance, if these scumbags can obtain information on what school you went to, or your spouse, they can often 'guess' your bank security question answers!

[Komplett Ireland] Facebook Phishing Attacks Set to Explode in 2010 « Komplett Ireland: This should ring a bell for anyone who’s got a message from a friend on Facebook recently under a heading like ”˜Wow’, ”˜You’ love this’, ”˜I saw your pic on here’ or something else of that ilk. The message will most likely come with a link that seems to go nowhere but could in fact be a phishing attack.  Facebook is the second most phished organisation online and, if current trends continue, is on track to take the top spot in 2010, according to a report from a voluntary community of web defenders called Project Honey Pot.
