A fake Facebook password reset email seems to be doing the rounds in the last few days. The Facebook password reset email says the following:
Subject: Facebook Password Reset Confirmation! Customer Support
Dear user of Facebook,
Because of the measures taken to provide safety to our clients, your password has been changed. You can find your new password in attached document.
Thanks,
Your Facebook.
Instead of having a fake Facebook page to collect the victims passwords (phishing), the email is sent with a malware attachment. The malware is known as “Bredolab” which is a Trojan downloader. Bredolab will download some rogue antivirus products. However, some sites are saying that it also downloads a password stealing trojan.
Be Safe

This is a lengthy review but to me the best line was their summation of the new free product: “the free version being available to all without charge is nothing short of a miracle”. There was also a review of it in the recent AV-Comparatives test of performance/system impact. The product scored the highest rating: A+.

Like the Asian Earthquake Tsunami two years ago, it is only a matter of time before Nigerian/419 scammers start taking advantage of the recent devastating earthquake in Haiti, by soliciting funds for “relief efforts”. The unfortunate part is, whoever gave money to these scammers would only be relieving money from their wallets and the donation will not reach the victims who desperately need them.
