Phishing Scam Hits Facebook, User Accounts

Today I got a Facebook e-mail from a good friend and colleague, someone I trust. The message simply read “Look at this!” and had a link to fbstarter.com (see image below, but do not go to this Web site). I clicked on the link and it came up with a page that looked exactly like the Facebook login page, but the address bar still says fbstarter.com. This is clearly a phishing scam designed to obtain your user name and password.

If you receive this message from a friend, their account has probably been hacked. Or, if you believe your account has been hacked, visit Facebook’s Security page to learn what steps you need to take to fix the problem.
