Computer hackers are targeting Facebook users with an email scam that attempts to steal their passwords. Some users of the world’s most popular social networking site were receiving emails that appeared to be from Facebook informing them their Facebook password had been reset and to click on an attachment to retrieve it. The attachment is actually a “password stealer” that is installed when a user clicks on it and can potentially access any username and password combination on that computer, not Facebook-related information. Please watch out for this new threat and keep your passwords to yourself .
