>>Fake home page: This was
the first major attack on
facebook this year. A strange link
was spread on the whole
Facebook which leads you to a
page similar to the login page
with same design as Facebook
but the URL was different. The
link attackers used were similar
to facebook.com. That means you
are giving your user id and
password to any other website
which redirects you to your
actual Facebook profile after
entering your id and password.
>>Password reset E-Mails: A
recent attack on Facebook which
sends user an e-mail to reset
your password. These e-mails
were actually sent to infect the
computer. To know more read:
