Facebook Under Massive Phishing Attack From China
http://thenextweb.org/2008/08/10/facebook-under-massive-phishing-attack-from-china

Facebook is under attack with numerous phishing scams. It looks like the network effect is coming into full swing to allow the prolification of these scammers to spread virally. The worrying thing about these scams is that they are increasingly sophisticated.

How the phishing attack works

You’ll get a message from one of your friends saying to log in, then if you do, you compromise your default username/password. What worries me is that many people are lazy and use the same passwords for their other online accounts (such as Paypal etc.). Therefore, these attacks can become extremely malicious.
