Another Phishing Scam Hits Facebook

A new scam is making the rounds on the social networking site Facebook.com. We received multiple messages in our Facebook inbox Thursday from friends encouraging us to “check out” web links with .at URL’s. Recently, Facebook has been hit with several of these “phishing” attacks directing users to Websites that steal their login information. Scammers are then able to launch subsequent attacks from the affected accounts. Stolen Facebook login info can also be used to break into e-mail accounts and banking sites since many people have one password for multiple internet services.
