In an attempt to steal passwords and other vital information, hackers seemingly have released a virus-tainted spam that falsely gathers information, anti-virus software maker McAfee Inc. reported.
The anti-virus maker further added that the spam informs the recipients that the password on their Facebook accounts have been reset urging them to click on an attachment to obtain new login credentials. As the recipient opens the spam harmful software gets downloaded letting the program install on itself.
Facebook claimed that hackers have already tried several times to attack the site and dig out crucial information and alerted users to beware of such spam.
Dave Marcus, McAfee's Director of Malware Research and Communications said that email comes with a subject line - Facebook password reset confirmation customer support.
