BEWARE: Phony Facebook Phishes The French

While we normally hyperlink to relevant websites and posts, we will not hyperlink to the URL above, as Security Web-Center reported that the clever fake domain was used to steal more than 5,000 Facebook user names and passwords.

Security Web-Center suggests that potential victims:

• Change all exposed passwords;
• Contact the company or organization that was being spoofed (Facebook, in this case);
• Alert it that your personal information was exposed;
• Ask it to cancel any accounts affected (Note: We don’t recommend this for Facebook, obviously, but view it more as a general tip); and
• If the information provided can be used to access other institutions, such as credit-card companies, contact them, as well.
