DON’T SIGN INTO Fbaction.net

As if the swine flu and the economy weren’t enough to worry about, now there are confirmed reports that a phishing attack is underway aimed at Facebook users.  It consists of an e-mail containing text similar to the message below.  Please be aware and don’t be lured into signing into a malicious site that will steal your information.  The message body will apparently read something like this (with YOUR FRIEND being replaced by the name of a friend of yours):

YOUR FRIEND sent you a message.

Subject:  Hello

“Visit http://www.facebook.com/l/4253f;http://fbaction.net/”

Do take the time to read and check the URL carefully before you sign into the bogus Facebook site and give away any information.
