Facebook made it easier for its users to report phishing attempts by launching email address phish@fb.com.

The social network also suggested that users forward suspicious emails to the Anti-Phishing Working Group at reportphishing@antiphishing.org, the Federal Trade Commission at spam@uce.gov, and the Internet Crime Complaint Center.

In a note on the Facebook Security page announcing the launch of phish@fb.com, the social network offered some tips from the APWG on how to recognize potential phishing emails:

  • Be suspicious of any email with urgent requests for login or financial information, and remember, unless the email is digitally signed, you can’t be sure it wasn’t forged or “spoofed.”
