ALERT! Facebook Password Reset Scam

McAfee Security warns the public for a password reset scam email claiming the origin from Facebook. The email tells the user to click on the attachment in order for them to reset their new password.

However, once the attachment has been installed the password stealer can potentially access any username and password combination utilized on that computer, not just for the user’s Facebook account.

This threat is potentially very dangerous considering that there are over 350 million Facebook users who could fall for this scam,” McAfee says. “This is also the sixth most prevalent piece of malware targeting consumers in the last 24 hours, as tracked by McAfee Labs.”

Please be reminded that Facebook will never send an email alerting a user that they need to changed his or her password. Another thing to consider if an email is a scam/malware if it has an attachment and the sender is asking the user to click the attach files.
