Sophos’ Naked Security blog reported on the latest attempt to bail Facebook users into clicking on links that take them not to the social network, but, in this case, to a website disguised as a Facebook page, which hosts malicious iFrame script Mal/Iframe-W, which subjects users to the risk of infection via the Blackhole exploit kit.

Naked Security points out that the first red flag on these emails is the email address they are allegedly coming from: comments@faceb00k.com.
