Email regarding Facebook account update is a phish
October 30, 2009 6 Comments
After a virus campaign, MX Lab now also intercepts a phishing campaign targetting Facebook users.
The From address is obviously fake and not related to Facebook in any way. This email in particular was directing users to the phishing site hxxp://www.facebook.com.saxzask.me.uk/globaldirectory/LoginFacebook.php?ref=******&email=info@****.com. Unfourtunalty, this host was already down when visiting so we didn’t had the chance to investigate it further but we’ll keep an eye on new ones.
