Facebook Under Massive Phishing Attack, Accounts Getting Compromised Within 24 Hrs ~ VOGH: VOICE OF GREYHAT| HACKING NEWS| SECURITY NEWS| CYBER SECURITY| HACKER NEWS

Facebook again under massive attack. This time phishing emails are threatening to delete users’ Facebook accounts unless the victims pass along their account details within 24 hours. The phishing messages are charging Facebook users with violating policy regulations by annoying or insulting other Facebook users. The messages are then requesting personal and financial information including Facebook login details and part of recipients’ credit card numbers. The emails are entirely bogus. They are not coming from Facebook. Social media venues would not request financial information, nor would they request login details. The scams are, in fact, designed to steal credit card numbers and social media accounts, likely in order to further spread scams and bilk victims.

A typical phishing Scam Looks Like:-

LAST WARNING : Your account is reported to have violated the policies that are considered annoying or insulting Facebook users. Until we system will disable your account within 24 hours if you do not do the reconfirmation.
