Today I received an email about Facebook Password Reset Confirmation email with subject :
"The Facebook Team" <service@facebook.com>
and it tells me my facebook password changed for safety reason then they wants me to download the attached document to see the new password and the attachment (Facebook_document_145.zip) it content a virus called :
- Mal/FakeAV-BW [Sophos]
- Suspect-1B!E4800A5BF6F6 [McAfee]
