Red Flag Alert: Facebook Loses Your Email Settings

As if the phishy advertising links weren’t bad enough, Facebook seems to have had another issue on its hands this week. When Facebook users received an email from Facebook admin telling them they would need to reset their email preferences, red flags went off, reports InternetNews. The email read as follows:

Unfortunately, the settings that control which email notifications get sent to you were lost. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.”

Looks suspect? Typically messages such as these are phisy emails from spammers looking for a way to steal your confidential information.
