There is a new phishing scam is hitting Facebook users today. Facebook users receive a message from a friend that directs them to a site with an official looking Facebook login. When users login, the site captures the email and password, uploads malware to the computer, and then sends a similar message to all of the user’s friends.

The message has a subject line of “Hello” and a prompt to check out “areps.at”, “brunga.at” or other sites ending in “.at”.

Do NOT click on the link. Delete the message. If you have received the message from a friend, let them know that their Facebook account and computer have been compromised.

Practice safe computing.
