Facebook Phish : “Look at this!”

Facebook seems to be coming the most widely used Social Website around right now, I went to Alexa to see what it said about how many users go there a day and I find this:

So No wonder there are a lot of people who want to get your personal information. Yesterday there was a new email that was spreading with the Subject “Look at this!” and it points to fbstarter.com. When you go there you will find it looks really like Facebook but your not really at facebook sign in page. They want to use your Facebook account to gather information about your email account, or who your friends with. They also might try doing the old Scam of asking for Money because they are someplace and can’t get home without your help.  They could also want to spread a [intlink id=”2249″ type=”post”]virus through your account[/intlink], or [intlink id=”2958″ type=”post”]steal your identity[/intlink].

[ad#cricket-right-ez]At the time of writing this the site is active and looks like Facebook but really isn’t.   You should always login in to Facebook the right way by going to:

http://www.Facebook.com

or

https://www.facebook.com

If you have went to that site and entered your password in there, I know it happens to even Journalists.   You can reset your password. This way you can make sure the people behind that site don’t have your password.   I do suggest however you start using a more secure password.  You should always use both Numbers and letters in your password.  Use a different password for each place your signup for.   I suggest [intlink id=”2646″ type=”post”]Roboform[/intlink] to better help you protect your password and it helps make up a secure password for you.  The nice thing about Roboform is that you don’t have to write down your password on a piece of paper, but you do have to remember to [intlink id=”3171″ type=”post”]backup your passwords[/intlink] from time to time.  Facebook is looking to be more and more a targeted for the criminals activity, and you should watch what you do online.
